Yea it's basically
library(S4Vectors)
library(RNeXML)
is(1:5, "Annotated")
# Found more than one class "Annotated" in cache; using the first,
from namespace 'S4Vectors'
# Also defined by ‘RNeXML’
# [1] FALSE
But can be worked around:
> is(1:5, getClass("Annotated", where=getNamespace("S4Vectors"))
# [1] FALSE
Of course, using class objects instead of class names in every call to
is() is not very palatable, but that's how it's done in all other
languages, as far as I know.
There is an inconsistency between new() and is() when resolving the
class name. new() looks into the calling package's namespace, while
is() looks at the package for the class of the 'object'. The new()
approach seems sensible for that function, since packages should be
abstracting the construction of their objects with constructors. The
is() approach is broken though, because it's easy to imagine cases
like where some foreign object is passed to a function, and the
function checks the type with is().
I can change is() to use the calling package as the fallback, so
DataFrame(1:5) no longer produces a message. But calling it from
another package, or global env, will still break, just like new(). How
does that sound?
On the other hand, maybe we should be more careful with calls to is()
and use class objects. That's a good workaround in this case, anyway,
since I probably can't get the change into R before release.
