Build timed out (after 20 minutes). Marking the build as failed.

Hi,

I was running rhub::check_for_cran() to get my own package ready for CRAN, but I got the following message and the check failed:
Build timed out (after 20 minutes). Marking the build as failed.
Build was aborted

The full build log is here:
https://builder.r-hub.io/status/psBayesborrow_1.0.0.tar.gz-532e7d4a891a41a6afbaf6ad7efe4f32#L8196

I appreciate if you could help me solve this error.

Yes, there is a timeout of 20 minutes if your build does not produce any output. Try to modify your tests or examples or vignettes that are taking more than 20 minutes. You can break them up, and/or make them produce some output.

If they are not supposed to take that long, then this is probably a freeze in your check.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I've checked that tests or examples or vignettes don't take more than 20 mins. The following is a part of the build log I can see the error, so do you think there is a freeze in the check?

Seems like it takes a long time to compile the package? Is that possible?

[yamagubed]

Yes, the compile would take more than 20 min.
