[Bioc-devel] Cannot reproduce Bioc build server errors for annotatr package

Hello all,

I?m getting some CHECK errors in the examples and tests for the annotatr package (http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/annotatr/ <http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/annotatr/>) that I cannot reproduce using the bioconductor/devel_core2 Docker image + most up-to-date packages. I think the issue is coming from rtracklayer while reading in a BED (or BED-like) file that has '.' in the strand column instead of '+', '-', or '*'.

Here is the error on the build system for all three platforms:
Below is my sessionInfo() for the Docker image based on the https://hub.docker.com/r/bioconductor/devel_core2/ <https://hub.docker.com/r/bioconductor/devel_core2/> image. I suppose I could change all of my example data to use '*' for the strand, but many peak callers (macs2 being one of the most popular) use the '.' convention for no strand in their BED output, and I think rtracklayer should respect this.

Thanks, Raymond
