Dear KNIME R community,
I am new to KNIME and am currently trying the R scripting nodes to build a model building and prediction workflow for soil IR spectroscopy. The current workflow consists of R nodes that pass along workspaces, as the spectral data are stored in R object lists together with other metadata and chemical informations. Therefore, I mostly use "R To R", "R Source (Workspace)", and "Add Table To R", because I need to access different R objects from the workspace.
The error message I get at the "R to R" node is the following:
ERROR R To R 0:36 Execute failed: R evaluation failed.
The "R to R node" that fails to evaluate uses functions from a personal R package with customized functions for soil spectroscopy. The code is shown below. However, when I try to evaluate the code in an R studio session everything works properly, and I get the desired output list. Also, when I evaluate the error node via "Configure..." > "Eval selection" I don't get any errors, meaning that all required R objects are available within the KNIME workspace.
# Perform pls modeling ------------------------------------------
# Total C
pls_C <- pls_ken_stone(
spec_chem = soil_chemspec,
ratio_val = 1/3,
pc = 2,
validation = TRUE,
variable = C
)
I have installed Cairo and Rserve packages in R (version 3.3.1), and Rserve integration seems to work as the previous nodes can be executed properly. Currently, I'm using KNIME 3.1.2 with OS X 10.11.3.
From the error log file in KNIME I get only some hints, but I am not able to figure out why the error occurs.
I suspect that it might be a problem related to memory (maybe Rserve...), because the error log states
"'memory.limit()' is Windows-specific" . The R object generated within the node is a huge list of about 32 Mb, that contains soil chemical and spectral data, model output from the caret package, and a ggplot list object.
Note that the error occurs in node 36. I have increased buffer limit size to 1000MB for Rserve (configuration via KNIME setttings).
Has anybody of you have encountered similar errors? Thank you very much in advance for some possible hints why the error occurs and possible ways to fix it. Below is the error log.
Cheers, Philipp
