Make "deps::." optional in setup-r-dependencies

[assignUser]

Hello!
The new v2 actions are awesome! Thanks for the great work :)

I tried using setup-r-dependencies in a repo that is not a package but rather an action using R. The setup fail due too deps::. not finding a local package-

It would be nice if I could turn of installation of local dependencies, for now I am going to create a dummy package as a workaround.

Well, it is called setup-r-dependencies. :) So what do you want to install instead? Maybe we should have an install-r-packages action?

[assignUser]

True :D. That would be s solution but I can't think of any functionality that would be needed other than not using deps::.. but if you want to do it in a separate action I would be happy to use it 😁

[gaborcsardi]

OK, how about having a packages argument, which defaults to "deps::."?

[assignUser]

That would be perfect 😄

[gaborcsardi]

Can you try if @v2-branch works for you?

[assignUser]

@gaborcsardi yep works perfectly: https://github.com/ropensci-review-tools/pkgcheck-action/runs/4965427019?check_suite_focus=true#step:4:65

Thank you for implementing this so quickly!

[gaborcsardi]

I'll merge it it @v2 soon, I'll comment here. Then it is best to revert back to @v2 because @v2-branch has experimental stuff sometimes.

[gaborcsardi]

This is now in v2.

[assignUser]

Awesome, thank you @gaborcsardi !
