[R-pkg-devel] Error during automatic check for vignette re-building - The magick package is required to crop

Dear all,

Currently I am trying to update my package (GALLO) with some small edits in the code. However, the package is not passing in the automatic check. I am getting only two warnings:

The first one is a warning related with the maintainer email (my email in the case), which is correct. I really think that this is not the cause of the package failure during the automatic checking.

The second warning is a problem during the vignette rebuilding. The warning is "The magick package is required to crop". In my first submission I didn't experience this error. In the recent submissions for updates, I included the magick package as a dependency of the package. However, this didn't fixed the issue. Additionally, I can't reproduce the errors in my machines, even when running R CMD check --as-cran. The error seems to be related with the lines 465-495 from the vignette. I double checked the code and introduced some small changes (such as reducing the figure dimensions).

Have ever someone faced a similar issue? However, it seems ineffective. Is there any possibility to be a false negative?

I am sending bellow the links for the check logs.

package GALLO_1.0.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks automatically, please see the following pre-tests:
Windows: <https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/GALLO_1.0_20201105_154946/Windows/00check.log>

Debian: <https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/GALLO_1.0_20201105_154946/Debian/00check.log>
Status: 2 WARNINGs

Last released version's CRAN status: ERROR: 1, WARN: 11

The first one is actually about your version number:  you called it 
version 1.0, but CRAN already has 1.0.  You need to increase the number.
I am not sure about this one; I'd need to look at the package to check. 
Is it on Github?

Dear Duncan Murdoch,

Thank you for the quickly reply. Yes, the package is on Github. Any comment or suggestion will be very welcome.

Hi Pablo,

"The magick package is required to crop"  is related to using
BiocStyle for your vignette. Not sure what causes it, but I reported
this error some time ago:
https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocStyle/issues/77.
On related issues and on bioc-devel mailing list
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-April/016656.html) it
is mentioned to use knitr::opts_chunk$set(crop = NULL) to solve it.
If the package is intended for CRAN I would recommend not using
BiocStyle template, which would also solve this.

Best,

Llu?s

Dear Llu?s Revilla,

Thank you very much for the comments and suggestions. I changed the vignette format from the BiocStyle to a regular html. However, I am still getting an error.  Now, the error is "Input vector too short" and it is related with the same code chunk lines 465-506.

I can't figure out a possible reason for this issue. Any comment or suggestion will be very welcome.

Kind regards.

Dear Pablo,

Sometimes when building a vignette the lines reported are a bit off (I
usually check the code above and below those lines).
I could reproduce the error on R 4.0.1, the error is triggered on
lines 515-519 on the following code:

relationship_plot(qtl_file=out.qtls.filtered, x="Abbrev", y="Ref_ID",
cex=1,gap=2.5,degree = 60,
canvas.xlim = c(-5, 5),
canvas.ylim = c(-3, 3),
grid.col = color.grid)

Hope you can solve it.

Cheers,

Llu?s
