Arvados

The R SDK reference page lists functions with incorrect conventions. Essentially, it seems like the python-like function naming in the documentation was abandoned for more R-like versions. As a result, most of the functions are incorrectly documented.

For example, this is part of the tutorial:

collectionList <- arv$collections.list(list(list("name", "like", "Test%")))

Should be replaced with this:

collectionList <- arv$listCollections(list(list("name", "like", "Test%")))

This works to pull a file name's uuid, for example:

uuid <- arv$listCollections(list(list("any", "@@", "GU8N1LS.bam")), limit = 1)$items[[1]]$uuid
