Final Rmarkdown File--No option to knit?

[shipmadison]

Hi all,

I've been troubleshooting an issue with our final Rmarkdown file. I've gotten it to render, but it hasn't created an HTML file, and I have no option to knit. There is a final version of our report in our file (Lab-2, Team-4) named Lab-2-team-4_WriteUp_Final, which has been pushed to Git.

Can you help me identify the issue?

Hi @shipmadison. It looks like that sub-folder is somehow interacting with @eeholmes' Quarto doc in the main folder. Your knit button has likely been replaced with an arrow for rendering Quarto docs (see below).

When I render the doc it produces an .html doc, but Git is ignoring and so I can't push it to GitHub.

Hi @mdscheuerell

Thanks for the reply! I'll mess with the subdirectories to see if that helps. You are correct that I only saw the arrow render button. I did get it to produce an HTML document eventually using rmarkdown::render(), but it took a frustrating amount of troubleshooting to get there (I probably should have started with the console command). I'll be careful to mind my subdirectories in the future. Thanks again!

To clarify, @shipmadison, I don't think the issue has to do with your directory structure per se, but rather the broader nested setup we have now.

@shipmadison. Mark is right. I messed up the knitting by adding a _quarto.yml file. Let me remove that.

@shipmadison Ok, do a pull from github and restart your project in RStudio. Just click the projects button in upper right and click on your project name (prob fish550?)
