[Bioc-devel] Package update before october 23rd deadline and build errors [duplicated, wrong email address previous]

Hello, bioconductor team,

I'm one of the contributors for the package ISAnalytics. We pushed some 
changes we would like to be included in the release for bioconductor 
3.12 a couple of days ago but the build report still refers to the older 
version, did we miss the deadline for updates or is it normal? Moreover, 
by taking a look at the build report for the older version we noticed it 
had failed on Windows, which is to us very odd, since we develop and 
check the package on windows locally and we also have github automated 
actions that perform the same checks on other machines and there were no 
errors or warnings. From what we can see from the report it seems a 
BiocParallel problem, could you give us feedback on this please? The 
link to the build report: 
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/ISAnalytics/

Thank you in advance,

Giulia Pais

We are sorry for the inconvenience.  There was an issue generating the build report, again.  We hope to have it resolved and have the new build report posted later today.  I do see the 0.99.13 updates in our git repository so they were pushed up and should be reflected in the next posted build report.
Please see if the issues clear up on the next build report otherwise we can investigate further if there is an issue with the BiocParallel implementation.

Hi Lori, thanks for your reply, unfortunately the problem persists, same 
as the previous build it appears to have issues with BiocParallel that 
we don't have both on local machines and github actions server machines. 
What should we do? Thank you

Hi Giulia,

Today's report is available. Unfortunately ISAnalytics tests are still 
failing on Windows:

 
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/ISAnalytics/tokay1-checksrc.html

Note that you have this warning at the beginning of the tests:

   > test_check("ISAnalytics")
   Warning message:
   In file(file, "rt") :
     file("") only supports open = "w+" and open = "w+b": using the former

Maybe it's relevant?

In any case, that warning should not be ignored as it is most likely 
reporting a real problem.

Best,
H.

Hello,

we keep getting weird warning messages for check on windows, it's also 
even more odd since we got yesterday a build report with no errors or 
warnings but the build report for today gives an error on Windows Server 
2012 R2 Standard / x64 only. We can't understand what the warning is, 
why does it happen only for tests and also why it doesn't happen 
consistently (same lines of codes are run in examples in the documentation).

Could you give us further insight on the meaning of this warning? We are 
not able to reproduce it.

Also will our package be released for bioconductor 3.12?

Thank you

Giula,

Provided your package has been accepted by a reviewer, it will be released
as part of Bioconductor 3.12, as long as it satisfies the other
requirements, which includes some deadlines for when it is supposed to pass
check without errors.

In general, around release, there are a lot of changes to a lot of
packages. When you get an error from the build system, I suggest looking
closely at the error and also see if other packages are affected.
Unfortunately, sometimes things break on the build system which leads to
100s or 1000s of packages failing at the same time. For this reason, it is
sometimes useful to look at the Dashboard:
  http://www.bioconductor.org/dashboard/
Today you can see ~20 packages failing build, ~70 failing installation and
~70 failing check (rough numbers across platforms). Nothing seems to be
amiss with windows.

Today you have a warning on one windows platform which suggests there is
something wrong with IRanges on that platform,

If you see occasional failures (errors), there could be many reasons
including internet access, memory overflow and failure to write to disk.
Its hard to know what you're suffering from without knowing your package.

Hi Giulia,

Don't know what warning you saw on yesterday's report but it seems that 
it's gone today:

   https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.12/bioc-LATEST/ISAnalytics/

Just to clarify, propagation is usually irreversible. This means that, 
since the latest version of the package (0.99.15) has already propagated 
for all platforms (as you can see on the package landing page 
https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.12/ISAnalytics), it is now available 
for download (via BiocManager::install()). And it will remain like that 
even if we see one of these intermittent errors or warnings on the 
report tomorrow or after tomorrow.

Best,
H.
