library(cBioPortalData)
library(AnVIL)This document serves as a reporting tool for errors that occur when running our utility functions on the cBioPortal datasets.
cBioPortalData())Typically, the number of errors encountered via the API are low. There are only a handful of packages that error when we apply the utility functions to provide a MultiAssayExperiment data representation.
First, we load the error Rda dataset.
api_errs <- system.file(
"extdata", "api", "err_api_info.rda",
package = "cBioPortalData", mustWork = TRUE
)
load(api_errs)We can now inspect the contents of the data:

due to annotations from different build numbers that were not able to
be resolved.
To see what datasets (cancer_study_id s) have that error we can use:

cBioDataPack:
pack_errs <- system.file(
"extdata", "pack", "err_pack_info.rda",
package = "cBioPortalData", mustWork = TRUE
)
load(pack_errs)We can do the same for this data:
length(err_pack_info)## [1] 5lengths(err_pack_info)## more columns than column names
## 12
## Frequency of NA values higher than the cutoff tolerance
## 5
## invalid class "ExperimentList" object: \n Non-unique names provided
## 2
## non-character argument

## 'wget' call had nonzero exit status
## 13We can get a list of all the errors present:
