[Bioc-devel] Windows Development Build Error Message for COHCAP

Hi,

I am not sure if I am going to have to wait to submit extra revisions.  However, I am unfortunately having the same issue (even though I tested using the temporary directory instead of the current working directory, in COHCAP (v.1.33.4).

I also tested changing the file path to the temporary in v.1.33.6, but that also didn't fix the problem (and I might change that back).

I am also still not able to reproduce this error message on my end.

For example, this is what the output of the build command looks like:

C:\Users\Charles\Documents>"C:\Program Files\R\R-4.0.0\bin\R.exe" CMD build COHCAP
* checking for file 'COHCAP/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'COHCAP':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* cleaning src
* installing the package to build vignettes
* creating vignettes ... OK
* cleaning src
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files and shell scripts
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building 'COHCAP_1.33.6.tar.gz'

And, I can also install COHCAP successfully using devtools (in R-4.0.0), although it does have some warnings:

> library("devtools")

If I try to install COHCAP using the Bioconductor commands (in R-4.0.0), then I get a general warning message before being able to install COHCAP (but the installation does otherwise run to completion):

The downloaded source packages are in
        ‘C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp88lsk0\downloaded_packages’
Installation path not writeable, unable to update packages: boot, class,
  foreign, KernSmooth, MASS, nnet, spatial

I am not sure if this last warning about the installation path has something to do with using both the pre-release (previously) and release (currently) versions of R-4.0.0.

Can you please help me know if you have any other troubleshooting suggestions for the Window server used to test the Bioconductor packages?

Thank You,
Charles

Hi Charles,

FWIW here are 2 important reasons for writing temporary stuff to
tempdir() instead of the current working directory:

1. tempdir() is the only place that is guaranteed to be writable on every system. Yes the user home is very likely to be writable too but there is actually no guarantee and some systems have unconventional setups where it's not.

2. Whatever you put in tempdir() will automatically be removed at the end of the R session. Even though there are ways to achieve this with the temporary stuff you write in the user home, it's not automatic and hard to get right.

Cheers,
H.
