Is anyone else seeing this? $ R CMD build broom.mixed * checking for file ?broom.mixed/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * preparing ?broom.mixed?: * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK * installing the package to build vignettes * creating vignettes ...Error in find_vignette_product(name, by = "weave", dir = docdir, engine = engine) : ? Failed to locate ?weave? output file ?broom_mixed_intro.pdf? or ?broom_mixed_intro.html? for vignette with name ?broom_mixed_intro? and engine ?utils::Sweave?. The following files exist in working directory ?/tmp/Rtmp7rjAe4/Rbuild3978f3146b8cd8/broom.mixed/vignettes?: ?broom_mixed_intro.rmd? (6322 bytes) Execution halted ? The weird thing here is that I don't see why R is trying to use utils::Sweave ?
I wasn't able to reproduce the build failure, but the reported vignette
engine seems to be wrong. Indeed, there was an old (2013) bug in
tools::pkgVignettes() that caused the reported engine in that error
message to *always* be 'utils::Sweave'. I have just fixed that in
R-devel (c82097, also ported to R-alpha, to be rebuilt in a few hours)
but that won't solve the build failure itself.
The build failure most likely comes from
# Rescan for weave and tangle output files
vigns <- pkgVignettes(dir = '.', output = TRUE, source = TRUE)
after "successful" (only in the sense of not throwing an error)
'buildVignettes(dir = '.', tangle = TRUE)', where 'dir' is the package
source directory. Running these commands (from library("tools"))
interactively should help debugging the problem at your end. From the
error message it seems that buildVignettes() did not produce any output
files.

The DESCRIPTION file has VignetteBuilder: knitr and the
head of the vignette file has
vignette: >
? %\VignetteIndexEntry{introduction to broom.mixed}
? %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown}
? \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
?...
?I could swear this used to work ...
? cheers
