Snapshot differences on Mac/Windows/Ubuntu

[nikosbosse]

Recently (~3days ago) we saw failing snapshot tests for our package scoringutils. CI checks that previously passed were failing on macOS-latest (release). As of today, they are also failing on windows-latest (release).

This is the current gh actions run on main: https://github.com/epiforecasts/scoringutils/actions/runs/8023799140.

After the test failure, I updated all packages locally and updated the snapshots (PR). CI checks are passing on macOS-latest (release), windows-latest (release), and ubuntu-latest (3.6) and are failing on ubuntu-latest (devel), ubuntu-latest (release) (pull_request) ubuntu-latest (oldrel-1).

This is the github action yaml file.

Since testthat hasn't recently changed on CRAN I don't think it is directly related to the package. But I wanted to flag this just in case it is useful to you and in case anyone has an idea of what to do.
Is there any other information I could provide that would be helpful?
Thank you very much!

It seems that the issue was caused by an update to ggplot2 on February 23, 2024 on CRAN. I suspect that some checks are failing (and not others) due to the fact that it takes some time to update the package for all systems. I expect this to be resolved over the next few days and am going to close the issue for now.
