Should we expand the cicd testing via rhub (and re-render readme)?

above lets you test across many more platforms- should we look to more than the current few platforms?

Yes, i think that would be a good idea. Is there anyway we could set up something to push to develop to automatically build documents including manual?

Just completing the Slack message - the CICD process only writes to the deployed documentation on the pages side, it doesn't write to the base branch. Master is locked, e.g. only way in is via a PR, so we could potentially do it - but then it's more a philosophical issue of saving built artefacts to the main branch.

We test across

- {os: windows-latest, r: 'release'}
- {os: macOS-latest, r: 'release'}
- {os: ubuntu-20.04, r: 'release', rspm: "https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/cran/__linux__/focal/latest"}
- {os: ubuntu-20.04, r: 'devel', rspm: "https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/cran/__linux__/focal/latest"}

I guess redhat and cent0S are used (RHEL in particular) but missing.

ok - so now if the readme is edited, it will auto rebuild (on any branch) @bailliem. Is this what you meant? So the 'plots' won't update on the README if nothing has changed in the readme, but they will update on the docs site. But if someone makes any changes to README.rmd, then it will make sure the version on github has the rebuilt readme.md.

maybe this one works.. https://github.com/openpharma/visR/runs/3054578553?check_suite_focus=true

[epijim]

ok - I'll just share the index of all rebuild-readme.yaml jobs... https://github.com/openpharma/visR/actions/workflows/rebuild-readme.yaml

(forgot to add a package to the gh-action so 2nd one also failed)
