I'm getting an error from csaw::windowCounts when I use a readParam object in the params argument This does not change when I explicitly load the library(GenomeInfoDb) which exports seqinfo. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

This is the code producing the error:

blacklist <- rtracklayer::import.bed(
    "https://github.com/Boyle-Lab/Blacklist/raw/master/lists/ce11-blacklist.v2.bed.gz"
)
rpar <- csaw::readParam(
    minq = 20, discard = blacklist, restrict = c(as.character(as.roman(1:6)), "X")
)

# reproducible example Bam file
library(chipseqDBData)
h3k27me3data <- H3K27me3Data()
bam <- h3k27me3data$Path[1]
# bam <- "out/alignments/ABC_123_sorted.bam" # my local bam

csaw::windowCounts(bam, param = rpar)
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘seqinfo’ for signature ‘"NULL"’

just calling seqinfo on blacklist works fine:

seqinfo(blacklist)
Seqinfo object with 6 sequences from an unspecified genome; no seqlengths:

The problem is that restrict= is set to roman numbers (presumably for Drosophila?) but obviously the data itself is for mouse, which makes the function very confused. Arguably the failure could be more graceful, but regardless, the function won't be doing anything sensible with these settings.

Ah, of course, the chromosome names don't match (it's C. elegans data) I forgot to prefix with 'chr'. paste0("chr", c(as.character(as.roman(1:6)), "X")) works fine. The error message had me looking for namespace issues with the seqinfo function not being exported the child process this runs on in my actual code - but of course it's something simple! I imagine that mismatching chromosome names is a common enough issue that it would be nice to have an error message that checks for this though. Thanks
