argument ".f" is missing, with no default

Question

[JACKY]

I'm using EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86 package to get genes length, using this code:

exons = exonsBy(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86, by="gene")
exons = reduce(exons)
len = sum(width(exons))
INDEX = intersect(rownames(counts_data),names(len))
gene_Lengths1 = len[INDEX]
counts_data = counts_data[INDEX ,]

This line exons = reduce(exons) is causing this error:

Error in reduce_impl(.x, .f, ..., .init = .init, .dir = .dir) : 
  argument ".f" is missing, with no default

When I remove it, the code works. The problem is I'm not guite sure what this line of code does (I found this code somewhere on github).

Do you think it's important? if so, how do I fix this error I'm getting?

change it to GenomicRanges::reduce(exons)

Other libraries have a reduce function so it's probably trying to use the wrong one.
