Error while running clusterProfiler

Hi,

I am trying to run clusterProfile after installing all dependencies and when I run:

ggo <- clusterProfiler::groupGO(gene = gene, OrgDb = org.db, ont = "BP", level = 3, readable = TRUE)

I get the following error:

Error in rsqlite_send_query(conn@ptr, statement) : 
  external pointer is not valid

Please guide Guangchuang Yu.

Thanks.

You did not provide the information of your org.db and the error msg indicates that it can't access sqlite file of your org.db.

Thanks for the hint. I managed to solve. But now, getting another error from the same command Guangchuang Yu :

Error in validObject(.Object) : 
  invalid class “groupGOResult” object: invalid object for slot "gene" in class "groupGOResult": got class "data.frame", should be or extend class "character"

I used the following code (df_0.05 is the dataframe from DESeq2 output containing entries with padj < 0.05):

geneList <- as.vector(df_0.05$log2FoldChange)
names(geneList) <- df_0.05$entrezgene
ggo <- clusterProfiler::groupGO(gene = gene, OrgDb = org.my_species.eg.db, ont = "BP", level = 3, readable = TRUE)

I figured out and it worked:

gene_char <-  as.character(gene$entrezgene)
ggo <- clusterProfiler::groupGO(gene = gene_char, OrgDb = org.my_species.eg.db, ont = "BP", level = 3, readable = TRUE)
