   # Here, we use the fixed version of testthat. For more details, please see SPARK-22817.
   # As of devtools 2.1.0, it requires testthat higher then 2.1.1 as a dependency. SparkR test requires testthat 1.0.2.
   # Therefore, we don't use devtools but installs it directly from the archive including its dependencies.
