I am preparing a package for submission to Bioconductor. One of the errors I
got from running BioCheck() was "At least 80%of man pages documenting exported
objects must have runnable examples". The way our package is constructed makes
meeting this requirement practically impossible.
Our package is designed to create pipelines by chaining functions and saving
intermediate results in an object. These functions are not meant to be run in
small examples - many require a series of other functions to be run before they
can be called. It wouldn't be possible to make the examples runnable without
either large intermediate objects that would cause our package to exceed the
size limit of 5 MB or long examples that could consist of 20+ lines of code. It
would also be very complicated and difficult to maintain these examples.
Is it possible for our package to be accepted without resolving this issue if
we provide justification for it?
Thank you,
Kelsey
