I tried to reproduce the commands reported by the build system. So on a fresh git clone
$ cd /tmp $ git clone g...@git.bioconductor.org:packages/trena $ R -vanilla CMD build --keep-empty-dirs --no-resave-data trena (the buld system doesn't use vanilla, but I have an ~/.Rprofile and maybe other things, and I'm doing my best not to introduce extraneous stuff). I then tried to check as the build system does R --vanilla CMD check --install=check:trena.install-out.txt --library=/Users/ma38727/bin/R-3-6-branch/library --no-vignettes --timings trena_1.7.1.tar.gz where I tried various arguments for --library (an empty directory; the directory shown here which is the location my R is installed; the directory where my non-base R packages are installed, the current directory, the directory containing trena source, :-separated directories). I'd end up either with * checking whether package ‘trena’ can be installed ... ERROR Installation failed. See ‘/private/tmp/trena.Rcheck/00install.out’ for details. * DONE or (if 'trena.install-out.txt' didn't exist in the cwd) * checking whether package ‘trena’ can be installed ... ERROR install log ‘’ does not exist * DONE I couldn't find helpful documentation (other than R CMD check --help) on what value --library= should take; maybe Hervé or other build system wiz can provide guidance so that we can exactly reproduce what the build system is doing? I doubt any of the following is the magic bullet, but... When I built and checked this on my local machine I received a warning and then error * checking dependencies in R code ... WARNING '::' or ':::' import not declared from: ‘BSgenome.Scerevisiae.UCSC.sacCer3’ ... * checking tests ... Running ‘runTests.R’ ERROR Running the tests in 'tests/runTests.R' failed. Last 13 lines of output: 1 Test Suite : trena RUnit Tests - 87 test functions, 1 error, 0 failures ERROR in test_findMatchesByChromosomalRegion.yeast: Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'BSgenome.Scerevisiae.UCSC.sacCer3' because 'BSgenome.Scerevisiae.UCSC.sacCer3' is not listed in the Suggests: field of your package; are there other missing dependencies? In the build report, it's weird to see [1] --- test_createGeneModelFromRegulatoryRegions Called from: test_createGeneModelFromRegulatoryRegions() Browse[1]> debug: checkTrue(nrow(tbl.geneModel) > 40) which suggests that there is a stray browser() call in your code $ grep -r browser * ... inst/misc/multiModels/aqp4.R: browser() inst/misc/multiModels/aqp4.R: browser() inst/misc/multiModels/aqp4.R: browser() inst/misc/multiModels/aqp4-multi.R: browser() inst/misc/multiModels/aqp4-multi.R: browser() inst/misc/multiModels/aqp4-multi.R: browser() inst/misc/multiModels/aqp4-multi.R: browser() inst/misc/multiModels/aqp4-multi.R: browser(); inst/unitTests/test_Trena.R: browser() inst/utils/evaluateAllSolvers.R: browser() inst/utils/TReNA.R: browser() In trena.Rcheck/tests/runTests.Rout I see [1] --- test_scalePredictorPenalties.lasso Warning in Solver(mtx.assay = mtx.assay, quiet = quiet, targetGene = targetGene, : Target gene mean expression is in the bottom 10% of all genes in the assay matrix ... [1] --- test_scalePredictorPenalties.lasso Warning in Solver(mtx.assay = mtx.assay, quiet = quiet, targetGene = targetGene, : Target gene mean expression is in the bottom 10% of all genes in the assay matrix i.e., the same test running twice. Why is that? I notice that there are .DS_store files in your repository that shouldn't be there trena master$ find . -name ".*" . ./man/.DS_Store ./.Rbuildignore ./.gitignore ./.git ./inst/misc/.DS_Store ./inst/.DS_Store ./inst/demos/.DS_Store Maybe resolving some of these issues, especially the last, helps to resolve problems?
