I think you should probably also exchange the ordering of the checks in validate_forecaster_inputs():

I'm getting the error locally

Error (test-target_date_bug.R:57:3): arx_classifier determines target_date where forecast_date exists
Error in `check_installs(object)`: This engine requires some package installs: 'xgboost'

which comes from the line

# test-target_date_bug.R, line 59
    trainer = parsnip::boost_tree(mode = "classification", trees = 5),

I guess xgboost is present on your machine and on CI, but I'm missing it, not sure how. Should we add it to Suggests or change the example to minimize dependencies? @dajmcdon

I suspect it's just a problem local to your machine. {xgboost} is in Suggests already, so it will be installed in CI.
