[Bioc-devel] Tracing a build error on moscato2: could it be that pandoc is not updated?

[Leonardo Collado Torres]

Hi,

I'm trying to reproduce a build error on Windows for derfinder
(v1.5.10) shown at
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/derfinder/moscato2-buildsrc.html
I'm copying the end of the log here:

Warning: running command '"C:/progra˜2/Pandoc/pandoc" +RTS -K512m -RTS

had status 6
Error: processing vignette 'derfinder-users-guide.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
pandoc document conversion failed with error 6
Execution halted

Which makes it seem like a pandoc error.

Using derfinder 1.5.9 (this version precisely
https://github.com/lcolladotor/derfinder/tree/e727675142cba014b916b837d5b445c311981cc9)
I did not run into errors with a fresh R-devel and pandoc
installation. Similarly, I did not get errors using the latest
derfinder version (1.5.10,
https://github.com/lcolladotor/derfinder/tree/3203a1ecf4dad595ca7604c38fd27b2ec635f942).

>From the nightly build page results, I know that it had the error
using 1.5.10. From the logs I can't tell which version of pandoc is
being used on the build machine moscato2. But maybe that's the
difference here. Otherwise, anyone got any ideas on how I can
reproduce this error?

Thanks,
Leonardo
