Colleagues, I have a function (maxsimset) in package optpart that has worked for at least a decade, passes check --as-cran on my ubuntu-based system, and builds without errors at win-builder and CRAN windows, but fails at CRAN debian (unstable) with the error
> mss.test(mss.10,shoshsite$elevation) Error in sample.int(length(x), size, replace, prob) : invalid 'size' argument Calls: mss.test -> sample -> sample.int an excerpt of the function is below 1 mss.test <- function(mss,env,panel='all', 2 main=deparse(substitute(env)),...) 3 { 4 if (class(mss) != "mss") { 5 stop("You must pass an object of class mss ...") 6 } 7 if (!is.numeric(env)) { 8 stop("You must pass only numeric vectors ... ") 9 } 10 setsiz <- ncol(mss$member) 11 nset <- mss$numset 12 null <- rep(0,nset) 13 for (i in 1:nset) { 14 tmp <- sample(1:length(env),setsiz) 15 nullmin <- min(env[tmp]) 16 nullmax <- max(env[tmp]) 17 null[i] <- nullmax - nullmin 18 } 19 . . . 20 . . . 21 . . . 22 } The error occurs at line 14 in the excerpt above. As you can see, the 'size' argument is setsiz, taken at line 10 as the ncol(mss$member); mss has already been checked for conformance and does indeed have a list object matrix called $member. In my tests, setsiz has mode numeric, class integer, and size 1 as expected. The specific error message I receive can be generated from sample() if size is a list object or data.frame, but not a vector or matrix. Since I cannot replicate the error on any machines I have access to, I am at a loss for the reason behind the error. If this should go to R-devel with respect to r77656 ( 2020-01-12) please advise. Thanks in advance for any help, Dave ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
