After the recent update to R 3.4.0, updates and installation of several Bioconductor packages return a warning during installation -- specifically, there seems to be an issue in how BiocParallel sets up its core classes:

Warning in is.na(x[[i]]) :
  is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) of type 'environment'
'BiocParallel' did not register default BiocParallelParams:
  invalid class “MulticoreParam” object: 1: ‘cluster’, ‘.clusterargs’, ‘.uid’, ‘RNGseed’ must be length 1
invalid class “MulticoreParam” object: 2: ‘.clusterargs’, ‘.controlled’, ‘logdir’, ‘resultdir’ must be length 1

This is returned after running `biocLite(c("scater", "scran", "SC3"))`. The installations seems to complete correctly, but perhaps there is some error that I am missing?

I had the exact same issue today, I cannot run fgsea package anymore.

fgsea is loaded, so what says you can't run it? Is it possible to work around the BiocParallel issue by saying

library(BiocParallel)
register(MulticoreParam())

? (there is an outstanding report that that too fails...)

Hi Martin!

You are correct. fgsea loads but I can't use it unless I use serial parameters, not multicore.

Here is what I am getting when trying to register :

> library(BiocParallel)
> register(MulticoreParam())
Error in validObject(.Object) : 
  invalid class “MulticoreParam” object: 1: ‘cluster’, ‘.clusterargs’, ‘.uid’, ‘RNGseed’ must be length 1
invalid class “MulticoreParam” object: 2: ‘.clusterargs’, ‘.controlled’, ‘logdir’, ‘resultdir’ must be length 1
In addition: Warning message:
In is.na(x[[i]]) :
  is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) of type 'environment'

My only way around this is so far

register(SerialParam())

Which makes fgsea work for me.

Thanks!

Just thought I'd note here that, at least in my case, updating from Bioconductor 3.4 to 3.5 (with BiocInstaller 1.26.0), and then updating all packages via `biocLite()`, fixed this issue. I had to uninstall and then re-install "BiocInstaller", as noted on the Bioconductor webpage for using the "Devel" version of Bioconductor here:

```

remove.packages("BiocInstaller")  # repeat until R says there is no
                                  # package 'BiocInstaller' to remove
source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")  # install correct version
BiocInstaller::biocValid()

```

I'll update BiocParallel to use a different initialization strategy in the next few days.

biocLite("devtools")
BiocInstaller::biocLite("Bioconductor/BiocParallel", ref="release-3.5")

fixed it for me - I think that this fix will make it out eventually

BiocParallel in release (version 1.10.1) and devel (version 1.11.1) now take a different approach to initializing the registered back-ends.
