Description

Starting some time in the last few days, R-package CI jobs on macOS have been failing with errors like the following.

Error seen on R 3.6.x builds

installer: Package name is R 3.6.3 for Mac OS X 10.11 or higher (El Capitan build)
/Users/runner/work/LightGBM/LightGBM/.ci/test_r_package.sh: line 108: Rscript: command not found

Error seen on R 4.1.x builds

installer: Error - the package path specified was invalid: '/Users/runner/work/LightGBM/LightGBM/R.pkg'.

All R jobs on macOS are failing with this error, so it doesn't seem limited to specific R versions or compiler.

Reproducible example

See, for example, https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/runs/4994115921?check_suite_focus=true.

This doesn't seem related to the changes on any specific PR, as these jobs are failing this way across multiple PRs which are not changing anything about how R is set up. For example, #4953, #4970, #4977.

See https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/actions/workflows/r_package.yml.

Notes

See https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-macOS for guidance from CRAN on how to install R on Mac. Maybe the tips there could help in identifying the issue here.

aha! Look at this: actions/runner-images#4060

R was not available for Big Sur when we prepared the image for the first time. Please use standard tool request process if the tool needs to be added

I suspect that this means the existing R binary installers for R 4.1.x cannot be used on macOS-latest in GitHub Actions.
