ggtree error: "Error: object ‘get_aes_var’ is not exported by 'namespace:rvcheck'"

[Aveglia]

I noticed I was getting an error with ggtree on some systems I set vAMPirus up on. This was caused by a conflict with the ggtree version, rvcheck version and R version selected by conda while building the environment.

Here is how to fix the issue:

After you have built the vAMPirus environment using the .yml file provided:

1. Activate vAMPirus environment

conda activate vAMPirus

2. Call R

R

3. Check if there is a ggtree issue:

library(ggtree)

4. If you get "Error: object ‘get_aes_var’ is not exported by 'namespace:rvcheck'" as ouput do:

devtools::install_version('rvcheck',version='0.1.7')

5. Chose a mirror and install the right version of rvcheck needed (v0.1.7) -- for some reason after i selected a mirror I recieved a message saying the package didnt exist, just re-run the command form step 4 and it should install fine.

6. If installation succesful then close out R

q()

7. Re-open R and test

R

library(ggtree)

Hopefully this fix works for everyone, please let me know if this does not work for anyone.
