CHECK error on macOS: getMZIntensityPairs() Sizes do not match

[sneumann]

Hi, we have a very recent failure on
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/mzR/celaya2-checksrc.html

* checking tests ...
  Running ‘runTests.R’
 ERROR
Running the tests in ‘tests/runTests.R’ failed.
Last 13 lines of output:

AFAICS there was no recent change in the package

Ok, self-healing capacity on the BioC build machine, issue disappeared. Yours, Steffen

Just an info: I get the same error from time to time (on macOS) - recently more frequently. Don't know the reason, but my guess is pwiz/boost and/or incompatibility with the compilers on macOS (and/or the way R is compiled).

Hm, for the records, currently having the issue on merida1
