[R-pkg-devel] R CMD check not finding my vignettes

Before building my package, I manually place both pdf and html versions of
my vignettes into inst/doc. I then build the package with `devtools::check`.

Listing of the resulting tarball:

-rw-r--r--  0 david  staff  284978  6 Apr 15:11
huxtable/inst/doc/huxtable.pdf

However, R CMD check then complains:

* checking package vignettes in ?inst/doc? ... WARNING
Package vignettes without corresponding PDF/HTML:
   ?design-principles.Rmd?
   ?huxreg.Rmd?
   ?huxtable.Rmd?

What gives?

Cheers,

I do not know devtools, but the vignette sources should be placed in 
./vignettes and then R CMD build will put the files into the relevant 
places automatically.

Best,

Hi Uwe,

Indeed yes, but my built tarball has got the files in inst/doc as shown. If
I then run 'R CMD check' on that tarball, I get the error quoted. Is there
something happening that I don't understand?

Incidentally, the tarball also has files in the vignettes directory: (a)
the original .Rmd files and (b) HTML files. My original directory has all
of Rmd, HTML and PDF files in the vignettes directory, but for some reason
the PDFs don't get included when the tarball is built.

Cheers,
David

The "missing" files or their directory are not by accident listed in Rbuildignore, right?

Hi Berry,

Good call, and I would have been very embarrassed if so, but no. Actually,
if they had been, I guess they would not have appeared in the tarball.

Cheers,
David
