Hi,

I try to extract data from a local biomart 0.8 instance using biomaRt but, when listing the marts, I get the following error :

> listMarts(host="ngspipelines.toulouse.inra.fr", port="9012", path="/martservice/marts", verbose = TRUE)
Attempting web service request:
http://ngspipelines.toulouse.inra.fr:9012/martservice/marts?type=registry&requestid=biomaRt
Erreur dans `colnames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c("biomart", "version")) :
  attribut 'names' [2] doit être de même longueur que le vecteur [0]


I get the same error when using the official biomart.org website :

> listMarts(host="central.biomart.org", path="/martservice/marts", port=80, verbose = TRUE)
Attempting web service request:
http://central.biomart.org:80/martservice/marts?type=registry&requestid=biomaRt
Erreur dans `colnames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c("biomart", "version")) :
  attribut 'names' [2] doit être de même longueur que le vecteur [0]

When I run the requests in a browser I get a correct XML file with the marts.

Is there a way to make this work?

Cheers,

Christophe

Hi Christophe.

BioMart 0.8 is currently not supported by biomaRt, only BioMart 0.7 is.

We are actively working on making biomaRt compatible with BioMart 0.8 and hope to have something ready soon.

Best,

Steffen
