Hi all, So I got several bed files as created by MACS2. I am loading them as list with the following:

peaks <- as.list(c("K002000291_97925.narrowPeak",
                      "K002000291_97926.narrowPeak",
                      "K002000291_97927.narrowPeak",
                      "K002000291_97928.narrowPeak",
                      "K002000291_97929.narrowPeak",
                      "K002000299_99400.narrowPeak",
                      "K002000299_99401.narrowPeak",
                      "K002000299_99402.narrowPeak",
                      "K002000299_99403.narrowPeak"))
peaks
$K002000291_97925
[1] "K002000291_97925.narrowPeak"

$K002000291_97926
[1] "K002000299_99400.narrowPeak"

this are the same structure as the provided sample files, but not gziped:

files=getSampleFiles()
files
$ARmo_0M
[1] "R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/ChIPseeker/extdata/GEO_sample_data/GSM1174480_ARmo_0M_peaks.bed.gz"

$ARmo_1nM
[1] "R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/ChIPseeker/extdata/GEO_sample_data/GSM1174481_ARmo_1nM_peaks.bed.gz"

but when I convert them to the GRanges I got the following error:

peak=readPeakFile(peaks)
Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  : 
  'file' must be a character string or connection

If I use only one part of the list, all is good:

peak=readPeakFile(Goettingen_peaks[[1]])
peak
GRanges object with 34719 ranges and 7 metadata columns:
          seqnames            ranges strand |     MACS_peak_1      X111        .  X7.32948 X14.79510 X11.12669

but then I am getting another error as also seen in the https://support.bioconductor.org/p/119149/:

covplot(peak = peak, weightCol="V5")
Error in .normarg_shift_or_weight(weight, "weight", x) : 
  'weight' must be a numeric vector, a single string, or a list-like object

any help would be appreciated.
