installation erro about sierra

[rj-patrick]

Hi Aiden,

This may be related to your BiocStyle version (an issue that has cropped up before). Try updating to the latest version and reinstalling Sierra.

Cheers,
Ralph

Hi Ralph,
Updating BioStyle didn't help. I still get the same error.

Hi Aiden,

Could you please tell me what version of R you are using, as well as the versions of the knitr and BiocStyle packages you have installed? e.g. with sessionInfo()

[AidenSb]

Hi, these are the version of R and packages.
R 3.6.2
knitr 1.30
BiocStyle 2.14.4

Thanks Aiden. I can replicate the error compiling the vignette with that combination of BiocStyle and knitr versions. Not sure why this is occurring at the moment, but a fix to get the vignette compiled without error should be downgrading the knitr version. On my system knitr version 1.28 works - devtools::install_version("knitr", version = "1.28", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

Let me know if that fixes the issue for you.

Thanks Ralph, downgrading knitr to 1.28 solved the problem.

Okay great, I will close this issue now.
