[Bioc-devel] Issue Reproducing BioC 3.11 COHCAP Error Message

Hi Lori,



Thank you very much for your response.



I was testing building the Bioconductor development branch, but I was using R-3.6.



On the Ubuntu server where I have all the necessary dependencies configured, I tested compiling R-devel but it didn't exactly say R-4.0.



So, in order to see if I can reproduce the error, I want to make sure I am using the same version of R:



On the R website, it says "R version 4.0.0 (Arbor Day) prerelease versions<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease__;!!Fou38LsQmgU!5kLQzxLFDLkE15tideOn6Lfj4ouKaT1CB36y5FZreJ7HHHtZgHjVnoU6OsCs$> will appear starting Tuesday 2020-03-24. Final release is scheduled for Friday 2020-04-24.", but I can download prerelease files from the following page:



https://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/__;!!Fou38LsQmgU!5kLQzxLFDLkE15tideOn6Lfj4ouKaT1CB36y5FZreJ7HHHtZgHjVng8C2GTW$>



I tested compiling the R-devel.tar.gz file.  I think that completed without errors, but the version of R is reported as "R Under development (unstable) (2020-03-18 r78002)".  So, I am not sure if this is correct.



Is this the correct version of R to try and reproduce the error on my own computer?  If not, can you please describe which file I should be using?  I would like to install this separately from R 3.6 (in case the version of R affects other packages as well).



Thank You,

Charles

It is not okay to ignore the emails you are getting.  You need to investigate to find out if the ERROR is from your package or a package you depend on.  While you have not made changes to the package, R has made a lot of changes to its base code that have broken a lot of packages.  Most of the changes are being documented here



http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/troubleshoot-build-report/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/troubleshoot-build-report/__;!!Fou38LsQmgU!4jcx-leaLxfL2BEkbrsoQOxva2TZNrP3V15LcW-qR2EyDhkfpykALMS8EdUs$>





Please remember that your github version of the repo is different than our bioconductor git.bioconductor.org server.

I can reproduce this locally on my computer.  You will need to be using R 4.0  and Bioc 3.11 version of packages.

It is your job as a maintainer to try and reproduce and fix this ERROR.

If you continue having trouble or feel like the package is failing because of one of your dependencies please respond back here for follow up discussion or comments. Please do not assume it comes from a dependency without investigating.



Hope this helps get you started.

Subject: [Bioc-devel] Issue Reproducing BioC 3.11 COHCAP Error Message



Hi,

I recently received error messages for 2 packages.  As a worst-case-scenario, it is acceptable if the sRAP package had to be removed.  However, I need to resolve the issue for the COHCAP package.

This is odd because I don't think I have updated either package in the last year or so.  In fact, if I check the CHANGES file in the COHCAP package, the last change I manually noted was v1.29.3, which I can see was added to the GitHub version of the code on 3/2/2019:

https://github.com/cwarden45/COHCAP/commits/master/CHANGES<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/cwarden45/COHCAP/commits/master/CHANGES__;!!Fou38LsQmgU!4jcx-leaLxfL2BEkbrsoQOxva2TZNrP3V15LcW-qR2EyDhkfpykALNsjGd0E$>

I can successfully install the package, with either the GitHub or Bioconductor instructions.  However, I want to correct the error because I don't want the Bioconductor package to be removed.

I had some dependency issues on some systems related to the PDF generation (which I would usually ignore).  However, if I run "R CMD build" on an Ubuntu system where I have all dependencies installed, I don't get any error message:

$ R CMD build COHCAP
* checking for file 'COHCAP/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'COHCAP':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* cleaning src
* installing the package to build vignettes
* creating vignettes ... OK
Warning: 'inst/doc' files
    'COHCAP.Rnw', 'COHCAP.pdf', 'COHCAP.R'
  ignored as vignettes have been rebuilt.
  Run R CMD build with --no-build-vignettes to prevent rebuilding.
* cleaning src
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files and shell scripts
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building 'COHCAP_1.33.0.tar.gz'

I am using the development version, which I thought should match what was being tested for the BioC 3.11 error message.

Can you please either tell me what I need to do to reproduce (and then correct) this error, or confirm that it is OK to ignore the e-mails that I have received recently?

Thank You,
Charles
