Nightly builds fail

[Yuri05]

Since couple of days nigthly builds started failing (without any code changes)

[rwmcintosh]

The error log shows a package installation error - purrr

[rwmcintosh]

A new version of purrr was released Dec 20 which requires a new version of rlang. We can probably specify the previous version

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/purrr/index.html

[rwmcintosh]

A new release should come out soon

tidyverse/purrr#1017

[rwmcintosh]

A new version of purrr was released Dec 20 which requires a new version of rlang. We can probably specify the previous version

It's not the new versions of rlang, it's because the library purrr was configured to only build 64 bit.

Do we still need to support a 32 bit version? I'm not sure on usage, but the CI test is checking to make sure that both 64 bit and 32 bit versions can be installed.

[msevestre]

32 bit? That will definitely not work. Are you sure? We have not been supporting 32 bit for years now

[rwmcintosh]

Yeah, it's probably just that the tests are trying to load 32 bit dll and with purrr, the latest release did not compile a 32 bit version
If we just turn off this part of the testing, then everything will probably work again.
