[Bioc-devel] Rd metadata R CMD check warning

3 messages · Davis McCarthy, Hervé Pagès

Hi all

Apologies if this message appears twice.

We have been encountering a strange warning from R CMD check when running it on the latest version of edgeR (2.1.13, release candidate now on Bioconductor devel):

* checking Rd metadata ... WARNING
Error in is.function(FUN) : 'FUN' is missing
Calls: print ... format.check_Rd_metadata -> unlist -> lapply -> match.fun
Execution halted

Full output from R CMD check below. Some googling hasn't shed any light on what's going on here. It occurs on both Windows and Mac machines running R 2. 13 alpha, and has only been present in the last round of changes we made. Unfortunately I can't see any way to determine exactly which *.R or *.Rd file is causing this warning.

Does anyone know what's causing this warning and how to resolve it?

Cheers
Davis

Hi Davis,

Yes there was a bug in recent R 2.13 that was preventing 'R CMD check'
to display the correct warning message. The bug should be fixed in
R 2.13 beta.

Cheers,
