Hi Carlos, Your package seems to use BiocStyle to output the vignette. I have encountered a similar error with my NutrienTrackeR package. The issue was triggered by the latest update to the knitr package, which caused knitting of vignettes in BiocStyle output to fail.
The issue was resolved by the Bioconductor team by pushing a new version of BiocStyle. This fixed all packages dependent on BiocStyle on Bioconductor, and seems to also have fixed the build reports for NutrienTrackeR for all linux and MacOS builds. However, it has not fixed the error for the windows builds (https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_NutrienTrackeR.html) . The error seems very similar to what you are getting, also being triggered by the first line of code in the vignette. If the issue is the same as what I was having, it will be triggered no matter how many chunks you remove, since it is the underlying combination of updated knitr and possibly not latest BiocStyle which triggers it. Perhaps winbuilder and the machine building CRAN packages under windows are still not using the latest BiocStyle version for some reason?

We managed to solve most by including the �webshot� package in the Suggests list in DESCRIPTION, since the Vignette is rendered in .html including dynamic Plotly plots. However, we cannot manage to solve the last one, and thus we cannot update the package in CRAN. Local checks show no Warnings (only a Note due to having 5.1MB file). Even updated R to the latest ver 4.0.2 and R tools to the latest 4, and all checks ok. But submitting on winbuilder the Warning is still there. The logs are here: <https://win-builder.r-project.org/9IvFwBBcgDlI> https://win-builder.r-project.org/9IvFwBBcgDlI This is the error: Error(s) in re-building vignettes: --- re-building 'EHRtemporalVariability.Rmd' using rmarkdown Quitting from lines 35-36 (EHRtemporalVariability.Rmd) Error: processing vignette 'EHRtemporalVariability.Rmd' failed with diagnostics: argument is of length zero --- failed re-building 'EHRtemporalVariability.Rmd' The package is exactly that found in https://github.com/hms-dbmi/EHRtemporalVariability Those lines 35-36 are the first chunk in the .Rmd vignette file: ```{r setup, include=FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE, warning=FALSE) ``` Surprisingly, if removing this chunk and resubmitting, the same �argument is of length zero� error is present but in the following (now first) chunk of code. Any help would be really appreciated. We would kindly provide any additional info that could help. Best regards!
