[R-pkg-devel] Help with CRAN error
Glad you found the solution. I would add as an aside, I have found a good vignette is worth the effort. R docs tend to be like Unix docs, relatively short and terse and can be hard for someone not familiar with the package what all the options might do. A good vignette allows you to lay out in detail how to use the package, and to do so in context. -Roy

Dear All, I get the following message on running R CMD check -- as - cran: Package has a VignetteBuilder field but no prebuilt vignette index. I do not know how to fix this. Any help will be appreciated.
I don't know how to fix it either. That said, often a great first step is to search for the error. A Google search for, "Package has a VignetteBuilder field but no prebuilt vignette index.", which points to: https://stackoverflow.com/q/30976308. And a Google search "VignetteBuilder" has several promising "how to" results, and there is a "Non-Sweave Vignettes" section of Writing R Extensions: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Non_002dSweave-vignettes. It will be easier for others to help you if you can do some investigation on your own and come back with more specifics.
Sincerely,
Dev
