[Bioc-devel] Build failing for package 'fcoex' and I do not know why

[Martin Morgan]

Actually, I generate other errors, but not the build report errors.

I see your package git repository includes 'cached' files, vignettes/fcoex_files; these are not appropriate for a git repository, since they reflect some state on your particular machine, rather than on the build system or user machines in general.

Here's what I did:

  BiocManager::version()  # 3.13, the current release
  BiocManager::valid()    # TRUE, all packages are up-to-date
  BiocManager::install("fcoex")  # a short-cut to install dependencies

Then I tried to build your package, making sure I had no weird files or uncomitted changes

  cd /tmp
  git clone --depth 1 git using git.bioconductor.org:packages/fcoex
  R CMD build fcoex

The output was

* checking for file 'fcoex/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'fcoex':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* installing the package to build vignettes
* creating vignettes ... ERROR

I know that this is a different error from on the build system, but it points to some problems. What do you see? Have you tried to reproduce the problem reported on the build system using the docker image described at http://bioconductor.org/help/docker/ ?

    Hello all,

    One package that I manage is failing both Devel and Release:
    Devel:
    bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/fcoex

    Release:
    bioconductor.org/checkResults/release/bioc-LATEST/fcoex

    A part code generates some plots and then saves them to a folder. This is
    failing in all machines, but I cannot reproduce the error on my computer
    (Ubuntu 18.04).

      save_plots(fc, name = "Example")

    Saving available plots.
    $TYROBP
    Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, "point.size", value = numeric(0)) :
      replacement has 0 rows, data has 10
    Calls: save_plots ... makeContent.labelrepeltree -> $<- -> $<-.data.frame
    Execution halted

    Does anyone know what might be happening?

    Thank you very much and have happy (and safe) celebrations :)

    Best,
    Tiago
