[Bioc-devel] wiggleplotr vignette build fails with R CMD build

3 messages · Vincent Carey, Kaur Alasoo

Hello,

I am the maintainer of the wiggleplotr package and I have an error in
the vignette that I cannot seem to figure out.

When I look at the build report (
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/wiggleplotr/nebbiolo2-buildsrc.html)
I see the following error:

Quitting from wiggleplotr.Rmd:65-67 [unnamed-chunk-5]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<error/rlang_error>
Error in `plotTranscripts()`:
! object 'ccds' not found
---
Backtrace:
    ?
 1. ??wiggleplotr::plotTranscripts(...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can reproduce this error when I run R CMD build on my computer. However,
when I try to debug the code interactively in R then everything works fine.
I've not made any changes to the code or the package data outside the
vignette.

Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Best,
Kaur

I gather that this is resolved?  If not please provide full
sessionInfo after the
error is triggered.

Yes, I managed to solve it now. It was a bug introduced four years ago that
now broke the build, but it might have been that when I fixed another bug I
pushed the old bug into the bioconductor repository (perhaps it was
previously in my own github only). This is why I got so confused.

Best,
Kaur
