Hi,

When I am submitting a package, I got just one error that I couldn't solve it. It is working on many different machines but not on builders. 

I am using a function called enrichGO from another bioconductor package from clusterProfiler. It is saying unused argument but, that function is actually using it. 

Error in enrichGO(gene = genelist, organism = org, ont = ont, pvalueCutoff = pvalueCutoff,  : unused argument (organism = org)

How can we fix this? The issue# is 1408.

Thanks,

Alper

From the clusterProfiler Bioconductor github mirror you can see that the development version of the package does not have 'organism' in its argument list, so in your code (function getEnrichGO, for instance) you are not allowed to use the argument. Maybe you are developing your code using Bioc-release and R-3.2.3, rather than Bioc-devel and R-devel?

Questions about package development should be directed to the Bioconductor developer mailing list.

Questions about packages you are submitting should go to bioc-devel.

But the answer is, you need to be using R-devel when you develop your package, because the next release of Bioconductor will only work with that version (which will be called R-3.3 upon its release).

The clusterProfiler package has changed between release and devel. In release, its arguments are:

> args(enrichGO)
function (gene, organism = "human", ont = "MF", pvalueCutoff = 0.05,
    pAdjustMethod = "BH", universe, qvalueCutoff = 0.2, minGSSize = 5,
    readable = FALSE)

In devel they are:

> args(enrichGO)
function (gene, OrgDb, keytype = "ENTREZID", ont = "MF", pvalueCutoff = 0.05,
    pAdjustMethod = "BH", universe, qvalueCutoff = 0.2, minGSSize = 5,
    readable = FALSE)

?enrichGO provides further information. Note that in release the organism argument is meant to be a character vector and in devel it appears this argument (no longer named, but required) is supposed to be an OrgDb object. clusterProfiler's NEWS file may also be helpful.
