Warning and error message when using '$' operator on summarizedExperiment object about summarizedexperiment HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

I I have figured out that it has actually nothing to do with SummarizedExperiment, but that it is indeed an issue with the latest version of RStudio. These messages show when you try to use $ on data.frames with more than 2000 columns. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi @DijkJel
I am unable to reproduce this error on RELEASE_3_17 Bioconductor Docker container or in the terminal. Please make sure that BiocManager::valid() is returning TRUE.
Best,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for the quick response. I have checked BiocManager::valid() and it returns TRUE. I think I've found the issue: the messages only appear when the colData exceeds 2000 columns.

For example, the following code works fine:

m = matrix(runif(100), 10, dimnames = list(NULL, letters[1:10]))
cd = as.data.frame(matrix(runif(2000*10), nrow = 10))
rownames(cd) = letters[1:10]

se = SummarizedExperiment(assays = list(a = m),
                          colData = cd)

se$

But when I increase the number of columns to 2001, it returns a warning and error:

m = matrix(runif(100), 10, dimnames = list(NULL, letters[1:10]))
cd = as.data.frame(matrix(runif(2001*10), nrow = 10))
rownames(cd) = letters[1:10]

se = SummarizedExperiment(assays = list(a = m),
                          colData = cd)

se$

Error in order(typeScores, scores) : argument lengths differ
In addition: Warning message:
In completions$type == .rs.acCompletionTypes$DATAFRAME & !completions$context %in%  :
  longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length

Best,

I can't reproduce this running R 4.3.1 with RStudio (Version 2023.06.0+421 (2023.06.0+421)) on macOS.

How are you running R? RStudio, R app, R from the command line, something else?
If something like RStudio, what version of that software are your running?

It may also help if you provide your sessionInfo() after running your example and more details about your computer.
Here's mine

Glad that you were able to narrow down the problem to a RStudio/data.frame issue. I guess we can close this then.
