Hi, everyone!
Is there anyone here familiar with or using the RTCGAToolbox package?
I found it to be very useful when importing, compiling and exporting data from the Firehose repository. However, I am simply unable to export miRNA data.
Here is what I'm doing:

    > miOV <- getFirehoseData(dataset="OV", runDate = "20160128",  gistic2Date = NULL, clinical = TRUE, miRNAArray = T, forceDownload = T)
And it works fine:

    > miOV
    OV FirehoseData objectStandard run date: 20160128 
    Analysis running date: N/A 
    Available data types: 
        clinical: A data frame of phenotype data, dim:  591 x 21 
        miRNAArray: A list of FirehosemRNAArray object(s), length:  1 
    To export data, use the 'getData' function.

Now, when I try to export it, it gives me the following message:

    > miRNAData <- getData(OV_miRNA, "miRNAArray")
  
> Error in .getListData(getElement(object, type), platform) : 
  argument "platform" is missing, with no default

I checked what the acceptable arguments were, and it describes as:

> An index for data types that may come from multiple platforms (such as mRNAArray), for GISTIC data, one of the options: 'AllByGene' or 'ThresholdedByGene'

In this case, I checked the platform for [this specific set of data][1], which was performed on Agilent Human miRNA microarray Rel12.0.

I tried adding "Agilent", "Agilent Human miRNA", and other values, but it didn't work.

Would anybody have any idea on how to solve this issue?
Thanks!

Case solved!
Although it still gives an error message after performing the getData function, it still exports the data.
