Would you mind explaining the root problem?

[MichaelChirico]

pretty simple: webfakes is unavailable 🙂

And what's the root cause of that? 😆

[MichaelChirico]

two main things:

1. there's manual overhead for us to bring in incremental packages -- https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/thirdparty. so unless we need Suggests functionality, we usually don't import those deps (e.g. just to pass a small # of tests)
2. our test infra blocks web calls. i'm not sure webfakes even can work (speculative -- haven't looked into webfakes much)

we have already applied the patch to our fork, but filed here as well thinking it's more generally useful. but do feel free to close.

Thanks! Just wanted to understand the root context; I'll likely merge when I'm next working on testthat.
