Hi every one,
BiocCheck is really annoying. My package contains three functions. Two of them
are flexible with multiple argument. The third one is requires internet to
check available data types and returns the result as an excel file. It’s a
simple function with no argument. So there is no example for that; just usage.
BiocCheck returns error for this function. I can add the function to usage and
example sections of the manual page, but I’m sure it will take more than 5
minutes for R CMD check, so causing problem again. What can I do? I appreciate
any kind advance.
Again with the package secrecy! It helps to mention the package to
provide some context.
Examples can illustrate output (and their further manipulation to
integrate with the functionality of the package).
While one would really like unit tests, examples serve as a useful way
of testing that the code actually works.
Taking multiple minutes to create an Excel spreadsheet sounds
problematic to me -- why an excel spreadsheet, instead of something that
the user can compute on? Why so long to generate a static result (no
argument --> same return value each time, right?).
Martin
