> pData(eset2)
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘pData’ for signature ‘"GSE"’
> pData(eset2[[1]])
Error in eset2[[1]] : this S4 class is not subsettable

The above command works fine when  > eset2 <- getGEO(filename = "GSE15543_family.soft.gz") is used.
Any suggestions on how to resolve the error?

While using > eset2 <- getGEO(filename = "GSE15543_family.soft.gz"), the file is downloaded every time and not used from the cached one . On the terminal, I use $Rscript file.R to compile

Parsing a SOFT format GSE will result in a GSE object. It is up to you, then, to parse out the information as needed. See https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/GEOquery/inst/doc/GEOquery.html#converting-gse-to-an-expressionset.

The GSE SOFT parsing functionality is historical and predates the availability of so-called SeriesMatrix format files. The preferred approach these simply use getGEO('GSE15543'), or to use the SeriesMatrix file(s).

I prefer using getGEO('GSE15543'). I trouble that I face is , every time I run the R script the file,GSE15543,gets downloaded(i.e using Rscript file.R).Why does this happen? (To avoid this , I was trying to download and save the file.When I directly use getGEO('GSE15543') in the terminal, the cached version is fetched.

Excuse me for the naive questions

See the help for getGEO. In particular, if you set `destdir` in your script, the files will be downloaded only once. The second time the cached file is used. If you do not set `destdir`, a temporary directory is used and that temporary directory only lasts as long as R runs.

Probably a really silly question,
I did as you advised,

eset <- getGEO('GSE15543', destdir = "/media/nat/entain/toy3/Bioconductor/data/")[[1]]

The cached file is fetched form the destination directory, but unfortunately I am not able to obtain the output in the terminal

I'm not sure what went wrong.

Looks like GEOquery is working correctly--not sure why it is slower. You could try using a smaller GSE (GSE20, maybe) to see if the process completes. If you are running in two different settings, file system performance and memory limitations may impact speed of processing, but now I am speculating.

Sean, yes, the smaller file works!

The behavior you are seeing appears to be specific to your environment, so I do not really have a good set of suggestions other than to experiment. You might benefit from getting some local IT support to work with you.

What kind of a device is at /media/nat? Does it have enough space both for the file and for intermediate storage? Do you have full read / write permissions at that location? Please also post your sessionInfo(), and confirm that BiocInstaller::biocValid() reports that packages are up-to-date.

/media/nat is a directory on  my laptop. Type(inode/directory) .I have full read and write permissions at that location. It has a total capacity of 212 GB and used is 20GB.

I asked about /media/ because 'usually' this is where one mounts removable media like thumb drives and so on. I guess when you reported available space it was from a command like df -h /media/nat/entain/toy3/Bioconductor/data

You could try and debug by using `debug()` and then stepping through individual functions until something goes wrong; here's my session... I start by debugging some likely functions, one exported the other not...

> debug(parseGEO)
> debug(GEOquery:::parseGPL)

I then evaluate the function, where 'fl' is the file path to my cached file. The function runs until it calls parseGEO

> gseEset2 <- getGEO('GSE76896', destdir=fl)[[1]]

until I get to the next place I'd put a debug call, and then step through some more, eventually exiting

debug: parseGPL(fname)
Browse[2]> n

    if (getOption("GEOquery.inmemory.gpl")) {

        if (!is.null(cache) && cache$info$mtime == info$mtime) {
            message("Using GPL object found in memory from locally cached version.")
            return(cache$gpl)
        }
    }
    txt = read_lines(fname)
    txt = txt[txt != ""]
    return(.parseGPLTxt(txt))
}
Browse[3]> n

At some point your own code will freeze. You can then break, debug() that function, and try again. Repeat until you get to what seems like a basic function (e.g., read_csv) that seems like it 'should' work; you can print out things like variables while in the Browser> , so occasionally you will want to do a 'sanity check'.

So 'break' with cntrl-C or when at the Browser[]> prompt type Q. I'd then 

> undebug(GEOquery:::parseGEO)
> debug(GEOquery:::findFirstEntity)
> gseEset2 <- getGEO('GSE76896', destdir = "/media/nat/entain/toy3/Bioconductor/data/")[[1]]

and then start using the browser again. Here's the start of the function definition

Browse[2]> findFirstEntity
function (con) 
{
    while (TRUE) {
        line <- suppressWarnings(readLines(con, 100))
        entity.line <- grep("^\\^(DATASET|SAMPLE|SERIES|PLATFORM|ANNOTATION)", 
            line, ignore.case = TRUE, value = TRUE, perl = TRUE)

I'd look at the variables that are defined and make sure they make sense

Browse[2]> ls()

Browse[2]> con

Browse[2]> file.exists(summary(con)$description)

and then step through, checking as I go

Browse[2]> n

    line <- suppressWarnings(readLines(con, 100))
...

etc. If that readLine doesn't look right, I'd start again (Browser[2]> Q, then invoke the function again) and this time instead of using 'n' to step through that line of code, I'd try to evaluate the line in the browser without the 'suppressWarnings()'

You'll have to use this approach to narrow down as much as possible what the problem is; if it is with readLines(), then I wouldn't go further -- readLines is from base R, and is likely to 'work'.

The file should be a plain text file, so you should be able to open it outside R using a plain text editor. It might help to do the same exercise but storing on a different part of your file system, e.g., '/tmp', and comparing things like file.info().
