How to create vignette.pdf for R-2.13.0?

Dear Duncan, dear Uwe, Since I have installed both WinXP and OpenSUSE 11.3 on my Mac in a virtual machine, I have now done the following tests on all three architectures: 1, R CMD build xps: This creates "xps_1.13.1.tar.gz" which DOES contain all vignettes as pdf-file. Thus R CMD build is ok. 2, R CMD check xps: This does NOT build the vignettes as pdf-files on all three architectures. Or to be more precise, R-2.13.0 does no longer build the vignettes since with R-2.12.2 and earlier versions R did create the vignettes as pdf-files. Thus the question is: Why does R CMD check no longer create the vignettes?
Probably the answer is simply "because it doesn't". For a truly reliable check, you should build the package, then check the tar.gz file. Anything else is, and always has been, an approximation. Duncan Murdoch

Dear Duncan, dear Uwe,
Just now I have re-run everything, and today xps.Rnw can be converted to
a vignette w/o any problems using:
a, buildVignettes("xps", dir="/Volumes/CoreData/CRAN/xps", quiet=F)
b, R CMD Sweave xps.Rnw
In both cases the vignette xps.pdf is created (maybe my Mac did not like
to work during eastern holidays).
However, one issue remains:
"R64 CMD check xps_1.13.1.tar.gz" no longer creates any pdf files for
the vignettes.
Dioes it give an error or warning? It should check the code. R CMD build creates the pdf files. Uwe Ligges

Thank you. My problem seems to be that at the moment the problem can be seen only on my Mac, since e.g. the Bioconductor servers have no problems creating the vignettes.
Then you are definitely the one in the best position to diagnose the problem. Use the usual approach: simplify it by cutting out everything that looks unrelated. Verify that the problem still exists, then cut some more. Eventually you'll have isolated the error to a particular small snippet of code, and then you can add print() statements, or use trace(), or do whatever is necessary to see what's so special about your system. I suspect it will turn out to be an assumption in the code that is not true on your system. If the assumption is being made by code you wrote, then fix it. If it's being made by R, let us know.

Dear Duncan, Thank you for your example, however it is different since it does not use x and y. What about print(x+y)?
Try it.
Sorry, I do not believe that there is a bug in my code, since: 1, it worked in all versions from R starting with R-2.6.0 till R-2.12.2. 2, the identical code works in the examples 3, this code (or a similar code) is the starting code which all users of xps have to use, and there was never a problem.
This might be a problem in R, or might be a problem in your code. As far as I know, it has only shown up in your code, so I'd guess that's where the problem is. In any case, you're the one in the best position to isolate it and debug it. If it turns out to be a problem in R, put together an example illustrating the problem that doesn't involve your code, and I'll take a look. Duncan Murdoch
Maybe the reason could be that my code has to import - the CEL-files from the package dir - the file SchemeTest3.root from the package dir ?? Best regards Christian On 4/25/11 8:00 PM, Duncan Murdoch wrote:

Dear Uwe, Your suggestion to look at the Sweave manual helped me to solve the problem. It seems that in R-2.13.0 every chunk can use the code from the chunk before but not from an earlier chunk.
I'm either misreading what you wrote, or it's wrong. If I have this in a Sweave file: <<>>= x<- 1 @ <<>>= y<- 2 @ <<>>= print(x) @ I will see the value of x getting printed, even though it came from two chunks earlier. I think Uwe is right: there is some bug in the code you're running. Sweave isn't the problem. Duncan Murdoch
Concretely, the following does not work since chunk 5 needs the
code
from chunk 3 and 4:
###################################################
### chunk number 3:
###################################################
#line 126 "xps.Rnw"
celdir<- file.path(.path.package("xps"), "raw")
###################################################
### chunk number 4:
###################################################
#line 132 "xps.Rnw"
scheme.test3<- root.scheme(file.path(.path.package("xps"),
"schemes",
"SchemeTest3.root"))
###################################################
### chunk number 5:
###################################################
#line 137 "xps.Rnw"
celfiles<- c("TestA1.CEL","TestA2.CEL")
data.test3<- import.data(scheme.test3, "tmpdt_DataTest3",
celdir=celdir, celfiles=celfiles, verbose=FALSE)
However, when I add "celdir" to chunk 5 then everything works since
now chunk 5 needs only the code from chunk 4 but not from chunk 3:
###################################################
### chunk number 5:
###################################################
#line 137 "xps.Rnw"
celdir<- file.path(.path.package("xps"), "raw")
celfiles<- c("TestA1.CEL","TestA2.CEL")
data.test3<- import.data(scheme.test3, "tmpdt_DataTest3",
celdir=celdir, celfiles=celfiles, verbose=FALSE)
Now buildVignettes() is able to create the vignettes, however R CMD
check still does not build the vignettes.
Yes, I get a Warning in both cases:
* checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ... WARNING
Package vignettes without corresponding PDF: ........
However, with R-2.12.2 the following lines are added:
/Volumes/CoreData/CRAN/xps.Rcheck/00_pkg_src/xps/inst/doc/APTvsXPS.Rnw
/Volumes/CoreData/CRAN/xps.Rcheck/00_pkg_src/xps/inst/doc/xps.Rnw
/Volumes/CoreData/CRAN/xps.Rcheck/00_pkg_src/xps/inst/doc/xpsClasses.Rnw
/Volumes/CoreData/CRAN/xps.Rcheck/00_pkg_src/xps/inst/doc/xpsPreprocess.Rnw
and in xps.Rcheck the subdirectory "inst/doc" will be created which
contains the vignette data such as xps.Rnw, but also xps.tex and
xps.pdf.
In contrast, R-2.13.0 does not create the subdirectory "inst/doc"
and
no vignettes are built.
One more issue:
In contrast to my former believe R CMD INSTALL does not build the
vignettes, neither in R-2.12.2 nor in R-2.13.0. I have to run
buildVignettes() after installation. Is this the usual case?

Have you tried on any other OS? I did not since installing root is a bit too much effort.
No, until now I did not try another OS, but I will, since xps has to work on all three OSes.
Using R CMD check with R-2.12.2 I get:
I thought we are talking about R-2.13.0?
I showed you the output of R-2.12.2 first and then the output of R-2.13.0, so that you can see that on the same machine with the same file it works with one version but not the other.
But you got a Warning in both cases: * checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ... WARNING Package vignettes without corresponding PDF: ........
Where is the R CMD build output (since R CMD build is supposed to prepare the vignette).

Is it possible to build the vignettes from the command line?
R --help suggests there is R CMD Sweave .....
However, building the vignettes within R-2.13.0 I get:
library(tools)
buildVignettes("xps", dir="/Volumes/CoreData/CRAN/xps",
quiet=F)
Overfull \vbox (21.68121pt too high) has occurred while

Error: Could not create file</tmpdt_DataTest3_cel.root>
Here are the two important chunks 4 and 5, which work fine with
R-2.12.2
and earlier versions:
###################################################
### chunk number 4:
###################################################
#line 132 "xps.Rnw"
scheme.test3<- root.scheme(file.path(.path.package("xps"),
"schemes",
"SchemeTest3.root"))
###################################################
### chunk number 5:
###################################################
#line 137 "xps.Rnw"
celfiles<- c("TestA1.CEL","TestA2.CEL")
data.test3<- import.data(scheme.test3, "tmpdt_DataTest3",
celdir=celdir, celfiles=celfiles, verbose=FALSE)
However, in R-2.13.0 chunk 5 crashes!!!
It works only when replacing chunk 5 with:
###################################################
### chunk number 5:
###################################################
#line 137 "xps.Rnw"
celfiles<- c("TestA1.CEL","TestA2.CEL")
scheme.test3<- root.scheme(file.path(.path.package("xps"),
"schemes",
"SchemeTest3.root"))
data.test3<- import.data(scheme.test3, "tmpdt_DataTest3",
celdir=celdir, celfiles=celfiles, verbose=FALSE)
As you see R-2.13.0 does no longer remember the result of
chunk 4,
i.e.
"scheme.test3". Now I have to include the line defining
"scheme.test3"
also in chunk 5.
How objects generated in one chunk can be reused later on is explained in the Sweave manual.
Do you have any idea for this behavior?
An example, which does work in R-2.13.0 are the following two
chunks:
#################################################
### chunk number 20:
###################################################
#line 300 "xps.Rnw"
library(xps)
scheme.test3<- root.scheme(file.path(.path.package("xps"),
"schemes",
"SchemeTest3.root"))
data.test3<- root.data(scheme.test3,
file.path(.path.package("xps"),"rootdata",
"DataTest3_cel.root"))
###################################################
### chunk number 21:
###################################################
#line 318 "xps.Rnw"
data.rma<- rma(data.test3, "tmpdt_Test3RMA", verbose=FALSE)
In summary it is not quite clear to me what has changed in
R-2.13.0 so
that chunk 5 no longer works.
BTW, the error:
SysError in<TFile::TFile>: file
/tmpdt_DataTest3_cel.root/tmpdt_DataTest3_cel_20110424_201301.root
can
not be opened
is not clear to me since "/tmpdt_DataTest3_cel.root/" is
definitively
NOT a directory.
Time to debug what root.scheme is doing with the supplied path.
Sorry, I do not understand what you mean. root.scheme does not change the path, otherwise it would not work on all older versions of R.
Right, but since something changed obviously, and you tell us the path is not a path, it might be a function used by root.scheme .... That's why I said time to debug the code in your vignette!
Do you have any ideas? Please note that the vignette "xps.Rnw" did work for the last two years w/o problem. Furthermore, the Bioconductor servers are able to build the vignette, see: http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/xps.html
See http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.8/bioc-20110225/xps/liverpool-checksrc.html and find that their Mac Servers are also fine with it. So maybe it is your setup that is corrupted?
Maybe, you are right that my setup is corrupted, but on two independent machines? Maybe the download of "R-2.13.0.pkg" is corrupted, but then nothing should work, or am I wrong? How can I check if my setup is corrupted?
By debugging the code in your package's vignette. Uwe Ligges

No, it does for me for other packages. Perhaps an error when processing the vignettes? Have you tried to build them manually?
(R64 CMD check --help says that be default rebuild-vignettes is turned on.) Interestingly, R CMD check still creates the file "xps-manual.pdf".
That is the collection of help pages, unrelated to the vignette. Uwe Ligges
