Hello,
I am updating an existing package and I am getting an error in running my vignette (and a similar error in an example in help pages) but ONLY when I run R CMD BUILD. I can’t recreate the error in any session where I can debug and figure out what is happening. So my question is how can I recreate the exact environment of R CMD BUILD that runs the vignette but in an interactive session so that I can figure out what is going on?
I have tried reproducing the error in other environments:
* Running R —vanilla interactively and trying the code manually
* running purl on my vignette to get pure R code and running just the R code with R CMD BATCH —vanilla

hint on the specific package and / or error message?

My approach would be to install the package, Stangle / purl the vignette, and R -f vignette.R, then trim the vignette to a fast reproducible case. But it sounds like you're doing that...

Yes, that is what I tried but did not get the error from the R code.

And I apologize, it’s the `clusterExperiment` package. My error was so specific to the class created by my package that I didn’t think it would be useful, but here is the relevant error message:

Quitting from lines 271-272 (clusterExperimentTutorial.Rmd)
Error: processing vignette 'clusterExperimentTutorial.Rmd' failed with diagnostics: invalid class "ClusterExperiment" object: merge_nodeMerge must have 4 columns and column names equal to: 'Node','Contrast','isMerged','mergeClusterId'
Execution halted

I would note that my vignette calls an object that is saved as a data object as part of my package to speed up compilation. But I experimented and you can also switch it so that it creates the object from scratch and doesn’t load the object, and it runs into the same error. There is a `LazyData: false` in my DESCRIPTION File, because I was having problems with my R data object, because it is of the class I make with my package, and without the package loaded there was some problem loading it.

I can reproduce the error with

clusterExperiment/vignettes master$ R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES= LC_COLLATE=C R -f clusterExperimentTutorial.R

leading to

> ## ----recallRSEC------------------------------------------------------------ > rsecFluidigm<-RSEC(rsecFluidigm,isCount=TRUE,combineProportion=0.6,mergeMethod="JC",mergeCutoff=0.05)
Error in validObject(.Object) :
invalid class "ClusterExperiment" object: merge_nodeMerge must be data.frame with 4 columns and column names equal to: 'Node','Contrast','isMerged','mergeClusterId'
Calls: RSEC ... .local -> new -> initialize -> initialize -> validObject
Execution halted

and then for work inside R


clusterExperiment/vignettes$ R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES= LC_COLLATE=C R
Bioconductor version 3.6 (BiocInstaller 1.27.7), ?biocLite for help
> source("clusterExperimentTutorial.R", echo=TRUE, max=Inf)

Does that set you down the right path?
