msaPrettyPrint

I use msa package by Rstudio in widowns,but the msaPrettyPrint keep reporting errors. This is my code.

mySequenceFile <- system.file("examples", "exampleAA.fasta", package="msa")
mySequences <- readAAStringSet(mySequenceFile)
mySequences
myFirstAlignment <- msa(mySequences)
msaPrettyPrint(myFirstAlignment, output="pdf", showNames="none",
showLogo="none", askForOverwrite=FALSE, verbose=FALSE)

And it Error in file(con, "r") : Unable to open link so I use output = "tex",It can work well.but when I open the tex ,found the

\begin{texshade}{C:/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmpo7310M/seq114c7f3453.fasta}

I can't open this fasta file.so I have to change it look this

\begin{texshade}{C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmpo7310M/seq114c7f3453.fasta}

I guess it maybe by chinese. But when I change it,I use Rstduio compile pdf.It have an error. enter image description here Is there any good solution? This is my sessionInfo

If I run your code in plain R on Windows without RStudio, everything works fine. Running the same on RStudio on Windows, I can reproduce the error. If I add verbose=TRUE to the msaPrettyPrint() command, then texi2dvi() shows the entire LaTeX output and everything works fine. I have no idea what the source of the error is. It seems that texi2dvi() does not work properly on RStudio with the setting index=FALSE and quiet=TRUE. The simplest workaround is to include the option verbose=TRUE.

I have the same problem, that is not suppresed with verbose=TRUE
It seems to be when you have a long username in Windows then tempfile() makes a short version containing ~
TeXShade then has a issue that it converts the ~ to \nobreakspace {} before trying to load the FASTA file which fails.

I worked around this by getting msaPrettyPrint() to output a tex file, then substituting ~ in that file with \string~ which stops TeXShade converting ~ in the path e.g. with

x <- readLines(fileName)
y <- gsub( "~", "\\\\string~", x )
cat(y, file=fileName, sep="\n")

then converting the corrected tex file to pdf

Unfortunately, LaTeX is a bit picky about file names and paths. It often has problems to accept file names and paths with spaces and also with some special characters or, as in your case, abbreviated Windows file names. As a quick workaround, I suggest you use the file and/or alFile arguments of msaPrettyPrint() to direct the output to directories with paths that LaTeX can handle.
