Subject: Re: [R-pkg-devel] Another newbie question: vignettes not appearing in GitHub hosted package
Hi Chris,
You need to add the `build_vignettes = TRUE` argument to `install_github()`.

As ever, my package is https://github.com/cpsyctc/CECPfuns and I am building

I am aiming for the package to have fairly comprehensive vignettes and there are
four now, but two are very incomplete.
The problem I have may relate to
https://github.com/Kenkleinman/clusterPower/issues/113 and to
https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/1766 or it may not. I have a nasty
feeling that I am just looking
straight through something obvious.
When I run
browseVignettes(package = "CECPfuns")
within Rstudio working on the package I see the vignettes and I have now got
pkgdown working to compile the
lovely web site around the package (at https://cecpfuns.psyctc.org/) and I see
the vignettes there and they
update.
The bizarre thing that is beating me is that when I pull the package down to any
machine with
remotes::install_github("cpsyctc/CECPfuns")
gets the function but no vignettes! Here's an example from my little Pi machine:
remotes::install_github("cpsyctc/CECPfuns")

I hope someone can see what I'm doing wrong! As ever, TIA,
