[Bioc-devel] Bioconductor time out in Windows while building vignettes

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Nuno,

When I go on riesling1 and run 'R CMD build' on psichomics, the 
evaluation of the CLI_tutorial.Rmd vignette gets stuck at the call to 
plotSplicingEvent(). This call fires up the browser to display the 
alternate splicing event and the evaluation of the vignette resumes only 
after I shutdown the browser.

Note that, strangely enough, this doesn't happen all the time. After 
being able to reproduce this a couple of times, my further attempts failed!

One more thing: this call to plotSplicingEvent() doesn't actually inject 
anything in the final HTML vignette. Take a look at the vignette linked 
from the landing page of the package (first vignette listed at 
https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.13/psichomics) and you'll see that 
only the next plot (produced by plotDistribution()) shows up in the 
vignette.

That's all I was able to find out, sorry. Hopefully you'll still be able 
to somehow make some sense of this information.

Best,
H.
