R CMD check file issues
4 messages · Nick Sabbe, Uwe Ligges
Are you sure there is no other check process or editor that locks the file? Uwe Ligges

This problem is likely to be specific to Windows, and particularly Win7.

Not always, but _very_ often, I get the following error:
C:\Users\nisabbe\Documents\@Doctoraat\R>R CMD check addendum
Loading required package: tcltk
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
Loading required package: Hmisc
Loading required package: survival
Loading required package: stats
Loading required package: graphics
Loading required package: splines
Attaching package: 'Hmisc'
The following object(s) are masked from 'package:survival':
untangle.specials
The following object(s) are masked from 'package:base':
format.pval, round.POSIXt, trunc.POSIXt, units
Loading required package: R2HTML
Warning in file(filename, "wt") :
cannot open file
'C:/Users/nisabbe/Documents/@Doctoraat/R/addendum.Rcheck/00ch
eck.log': Permission denied
Error in file(filename, "wt") : cannot open the connection
Execution halted
If, after this, I immediately reissue the R CMD check command, it works,
without the error.
I think this has something to do with how Win7 processes file handling
(there are known issues even noticeable in windows explorer), but perhaps
there is a way of circumventing this? It would be greatly appreciated, as
this issue is preventing automation of build/check/install scripts.
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Uwe, and thanks for your interest in the issue. There is most certainly not another process that stops working between the two R CMD check calls (recently, I've made a habit out of being ready to press <up arrow> <enter> in the seconds after running my first R CMD check, to rerun it if it fails). At worst, there may ever have been an explorer window open, but this is definitely not always the case, and I'm sure this window was not closed then, between the calls. I'm really quite afraid it is more of a windows issue than an R issue, but I was hoping you wizards might have a workaround (apart from the obvious suggestion to install Linux), as it is immensely annoying...

I have not seen this problem so far (but then, I am mostly under Windows XP and winbuilder is Windows Server 2003). Uwe
