[Bioc-devel] "forceAndCall" is not a SPECIAL function ERROR when using ShortRead readAligned function

I think we'd need to see your files in order to try to reproduce this.

Easy enough :-)

I'm running the RnaSeqTutorial package vignette and the chunks 6, 7 and 8 fail with that forceAndCall error. 

My R-devel is rather outdated, I'm updating it to see if that is the reason (2015-02-11).

Try updating to R-alpha (3.2.0) instead of R-devel (3.3.0).

Hej Martin!

Thanks for the comment. I have not looked at that bit of the tutorial in a while and - if I recollect - correctly, it was used to demonstrate the advantage of using Rsamtools over ShortRead for reading BAM files; so exactly along your line. Anyway, that tutorial is definitely outdated and I'm preparing a dataset with much more recent and more comprehensive data.

Cheers,

Nico
