[jira] [Created] (ARROW-5961) [R] Be able to run R-only tests even without C++ library

Neal Richardson created ARROW-5961:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Be able to run R-only tests even without C++ library
                 Key: ARROW-5961
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5961
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: R
            Reporter: Neal Richardson
            Assignee: Neal Richardson


I was looking at test output on Linux in preparation for CRAN release and noticed that all tests were being skipped. We should have a way to run tests for code that only is in R and doesn't require linking to the C++ library, not only to protect against possible criticism from CRAN but also to make it easier for community members in the future to contribute R patches even if they struggle to set up a C++ environment.
