[R-pkg-devel] CRAN packages dependency on bioconductor packages
Hi Junhui, There is a separate log for checking if your package works without suggested packages: in the StepReg results The noSuggests title leads to: https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/noSuggests/StepReg.out Where you can see that it fails if a user don't have BiocStyle installed. I don't know if it is possible to use a vignette output conditionally with knitr: In any case it seems that it would be a requirement (Imports, or Depends). However, it is best to not use the Bioconductor style for a package in CRAN. You could use the *_vignette or *_document format directly (from rmarkdown if I recall correctly). You will remove a dependency and avoid this problem entirely. Best, Llu?s

Hi everyone,
I recently developed an R package called 'StepReg' and used the
Bioconductor R package 'BiocStyle' in my vignettes, as shown below:
output:
BiocStyle::html_document:
toc_float: true
BiocStyle::pdf_document: default
In my DESCRIPTION file, I added 'BiocStyle' to the Suggests field and
included a new line 'biocViews:', as follows:
VignetteBuilder: knitr
biocViews:
Suggests:
knitr,
testthat,
BiocStyle,
kableExtra
You may find all those information here:
https://github.com/JunhuiLi1017/StepReg/tree/dev
There were no error messages when checking with 'R CMD check' and on
https://win-builder.r-project.org/upload.aspx. However, an error message
occurred when I attempted to upload it to CRAN:
* checking re-building of vignette outputs ... ERROR
Error(s) in re-building vignettes:
--- re-building 'StepReg.Rmd' using rmarkdown
Error: processing vignette 'StepReg.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
there is no package called 'BiocStyle'
--- failed re-building 'StepReg.Rmd'
SUMMARY: processing the following file failed:
'StepReg.Rmd'
Error: Vignette re-building failed.
Execution halted
For version 1.5.0 (
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/StepReg/index.html), I
successfully uploaded it to CRAN without including 'biocViews:' in the
DESCRIPTION file two months ago. However, I'm encountering difficulties
this time. Any insights or suggestions on resolving this issue would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Junhui
