[BioC] dexseq read.HTSeqCounts error

[Rao,Xiayu]

Hi, Alejandro and others

Thank you for your information on the forum, which is very helpful. I now have a problem in running dexseq. I need your advice to solve the problem. Any input would be very appreciated. 

> ecs <- read.HTSeqCounts(countfiles=as.character(sampleTable$countFile),design=sampleTable, flattenedfile=NULL)
Error in `rownames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c("ENSG00000000003:001", "ENSG00000000003:002",  : 
  attempt to set 'rownames' on an object with no dimensions

I then checked:
> dim(lf)
NULL
> dim(dcounts)
NULL

I generated count files by myself instead of using dexseq_count.py. I tried to follow the standard count file format:
