Both jobs on main went red after #152 merged. Neither was caused by the calculators; both are longer-standing defects that only surface on main.

1. pkgdown -- vignette rendered against a stale install

vignettes/cfbd_stats.Rmd:146 calls cfbd_passing_players_season() and failed with "could not find function", even though the function is defined in R/cfbd_passing.R:133 and exported at NAMESPACE:59.

Root cause is the dependency cache, not the code. setup-r-dependencies lists local::., but pak treats that as already satisfied when the restored cache holds cfbfastR at the same Version -- and DESCRIPTION has read 3.0.0.9000 across every dev commit. So pkgdown rendered the vignettes against a build predating #151. R-CMD-check never saw it because it installs from source on every run.

This is a general trap, not a one-off: any function added without a version bump goes missing from the docs build. Bumping cache-version would clear it once and re-break on the next addition, so this installs unconditionally instead.

Verified by running the exact command into a clean library:

R CMD INSTALL --no-multiarch --with-keep.source --library=$LIB .
#> * DONE (cfbfastR)
cfbd_passing_players_season        TRUE
cfbd_passing_teams_season          TRUE
cfbd_rushing_players_season        TRUE
calculate_expected_points          TRUE
calculate_field_goal_probability   TRUE

2. R-CMD-check (ubuntu oldrel-1) -- asymmetric skip guard

test-espn_cfb_team_roster.R fetches three rosters and skipped on only the first:

x <- espn_cfb_team_roster(team_id = 61, year = 2024)
y <- espn_cfb_team_roster(team_id = 61, year = 2023)
if (is.null(x) || !is.data.frame(x) || nrow(x) == 0) skip(...)   # x only
expect_in(cols, colnames(y))                                     # line 33

When ESPN serves 2024 but not 2023, x clears the guard and y reaches expect_in() with no columns. z had the same exposure. All three fetches now sit above one have_roster() guard.

Verified against live data: 9 passing, 0 skipped, so the wider guard does not over-skip when ESPN does answer.

Note on visibility

Both failures were invisible from inside a PR -- pkgdown only runs on push to main, so a docs break cannot fail a PR check. Worth considering running it on PRs too; that is a separate change and not included here.

Summary by Sourcery

Restore reliable main-branch CI and documentation builds by installing the package from source for pkgdown and guarding all external roster data fetches.

Bug Fixes:

  • Ensure pkgdown renders documentation against the current source package instead of a stale cached installation.
  • Prevent roster tests from failing when any individual ESPN season or roster variant is unavailable.

CI:

  • Declare the pkgdown workflow's required repository write permission explicitly.

Tests:

  • Apply a shared availability guard to every ESPN roster fetch in the team roster test.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests

    • Improved roster test handling when seasonal data is unavailable.
    • Tests now skip cleanly if any required roster result is empty, avoiding misleading failures.
  • Chores

    • Updated documentation publishing permissions to ensure generated site updates can be deployed reliably.

test-espn_cfb_team_roster.R fetched three rosters but skipped on only one of
them. When ESPN served 2024 and not 2023, `x` passed the guard and the
unguarded `y` reached expect_in() with no columns -- an ERROR on
ubuntu oldrel-1 that reddened main while every PR check was green. `z` had the
same exposure.

All three fetches now move above a single have_roster() guard. Verified with
live data: 9 passing, 0 skipped, so the wider guard does not over-skip when
ESPN does answer.
setup-r-dependencies lists `local::.`, but that entry is satisfied -- and so
skipped -- whenever the restored cache already holds cfbfastR at the same
Version. DESCRIPTION has read 3.0.0.9000 across every dev commit, so pkgdown
has been rendering vignettes against a build that predates any function added
since the cache was written.

That is what broke the docs build after #151: cfbd_stats.Rmd calls
cfbd_passing_players_season(), which is defined in R/cfbd_passing.R and
exported in NAMESPACE, yet the vignette failed with "could not find function".
R-CMD-check never saw it because it installs from source on every run.

Bumping cache-version would clear it once and re-break on the next added
function, so install unconditionally instead. Verified by running the same
command into a clean library: the install succeeds and
cfbd_passing_players_season, cfbd_passing_teams_season,
cfbd_rushing_players_season and the new calculate_* functions all resolve from
the installed package.

Reviewer's Guide

Fixes two main-branch CI failures by unconditionally installing the current source before pkgdown rendering and guarding every live ESPN roster response before assertions, while preserving validation when all data is available.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Force pkgdown to render against the current source package instead of a potentially stale cached build.

  • Avoid relying on pak's version-based local package cache invalidation when development commits retain the same package version.
.github/workflows/pkgdown.yaml
Make the ESPN roster test skip safely when any required live-data response is unavailable.
  • Add the third roster request before validation.
  • Centralize non-null, data-frame, and non-empty checks in a have_roster() helper.

Comment thread .github/workflows/pkgdown.yaml
The job had no permissions block, so it inherited the repository default and
zizmor flagged it as overly broad (CWE-250). deploy_to_branch() pushes the
built site to gh-pages and needs contents: write, nothing more.

Not a live breakage -- the repository default is currently write, so the
deploy works today -- but declaring it keeps the workflow correct if that
default ever flips to read-only, which would otherwise surface as a deploy
failure with no change in this repo.

…s the pkgdown build) (#154)

* fix(vignettes): stop reinstalling cfbfastR from CRAN mid-render

Every vignette setup chunk ran pak::pak(c(..., "cfbfastR")), which installs
cfbfastR FROM CRAN at render time -- overwriting the dev build that pkgdown
and R CMD check just installed. CRAN ships 3.0.0; anything added since is
gone by the time the next chunk runs.

That is why the docs build failed with `could not find function
"cfbd_passing_players_season"` even though the function is defined in
R/cfbd_passing.R:133 and exported at NAMESPACE:59. The vignette destroyed the
correct library before the lookup. Each file already carried a commented-out
`# pak::pak("sportsdataverse/cfbfastR")` directly beneath the active CRAN
line, so the dev-install line had been disabled at some point and the CRAN one
left running.

Drops cfbfastR from the pak() list in all ten affected vignettes; library()
still attaches it, now resolving to the package being built. Sixteen vignettes
gain a comment explaining why it must not go back in the list.

Verified by rendering the vignette that broke the build against a library
holding a source install of this branch: RENDER OK.

Note: the unconditional source install added in #153 is not the fix -- it ran,
succeeded, and installed to the right library while the failure stayed
identical. It is kept as a correct guarantee that the dev build is present
before pkgdown starts, which this change now relies on.

* docs(vignettes): make the no-install note self-contained

The note referred to "the pak() list above", but five vignettes have no pak()
setup chunk -- they only call library(cfbfastR) -- so the comment pointed at
something that is not in the file. Reworded there to state the rule directly
rather than cross-reference a list that does not exist.
