[BioC] Problem with intraIDMapper

[Faryabi, Robert (NIH/NCI) [F]]

Hello,

Here is a problem with idMapper wrappers in AnnotationDbi.
If you try to map in id that is not in the data base, the function breaks instead of returning a flag that allows handling the situation.

>idConverter("NR_003620", srcSpecies="MUSMU", destSpecies="MUSMU", srcIDType="REFSEQ", destIDType="SYMBOL", keepMultGeneMatches=FALSE, keepMultProtMatches=FALSE, keepMultDestIDMatches = TRUE)
Error in names(ans) <- unlist(make.name.tree(x, recursive, what.names),  :
  attempt to set an attribute on NULL
