Hi Mr Tierney, I have noticed an error message from R 1.12.x's CMD check for a while (apparently prof Ripley completely rewrote CMD check in R 1.12+) e.g.: http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.7/bioc-LATEST/snpMatrix/lamb2-checksrc.html
---------------- * checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE Warning: non-unique value when setting 'row.names': ‘new’ Error in `row.names<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, value = c("1", "new", "new" : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed Calls: <Anonymous> ... rownames<- -> row.names<- -> row.names<-.data.frame Execution halted ----------------- yet everything is okey dokey at http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.7/bioc-LATEST/#S under the snpMatrix entry. I believe it might be a bug in codetools::incLocalSrcInfo (used by "R CMD check") and here is what I think the fix(?) - but I am not entirely sure what that routine does and why other package writers haven't noticed similiar problems before: diff -ur codetools/R/codetools.R codetools-fix/R/codetools.R --- codetools/R/codetools.R 2011-01-07 15:52:58.000000000 +0000 +++ codetools-fix/R/codetools.R 2011-02-03 10:03:54.000000000 +0000 @@ -823,8 +823,9 @@ new <- list(srcfile = if (is.null(w$srcfile)) NA_character_ else w$srcfile, frow = if (is.null(w$frow)) NA_integer_ else w$frow, lrow = if (is.null(w$lrow)) NA_integer_ else w$lrow) + new <- as.data.frame(new, stringsAsFactors = FALSE) if (is.null(value)) - value <- as.data.frame(new, stringsAsFactors = FALSE) + value <- new else value <- rbind(value, new) assign("srcinfo", value, entry) Apply this "fix" would result in snpMatrix's "R CMD check" churning out: --------------------- .ld.withmany: local variable ‘names.components’ assigned but may not be used .ld.withmany: local variable ‘nsnps.for.each’ assigned but may not be used misinherits: local variable ‘nc.snps’ assigned but may not be used misinherits: local variable ‘nr.snps’ assigned but may not be used qq.chisq: local variable ‘lab’ assigned but may not be used read.HapMap.data: local variable ‘base’ assigned but may not be used read.HapMap.data: local variable ‘build’ assigned but may not be used read.HapMap.data: local variable ‘finish’ assigned but may not be used read.HapMap.data: local variable ‘strand’ assigned but may not be used tdt.snp: local variable ‘nc.snps’ assigned but may not be used tdt.snp: local variable ‘nr.snps’ assigned but may not be used --------------------- which is more like expected check warnings.
