I always get a "bad file error" when trying to knit a markdown file
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Haven't tried much, tried loading the file again. Didn't work.
I'm using r cloud, and I had to upload the file directly in "enviroment", but i was able to use the dataset.

Whenever I knit to a PDF in RStudio, the error "The system cannot find the file specified."
Here is the code that I'm using:
##importing data
library(readr)
Quiz1data_2 <- read_csv("C:/Users/erinp/Downloads/Quiz1data-2.csv")
I have restarted RStudio multiple times and I have copied and pasted the exact link that my file is saved to and it's still not working.
What am I not seeing or what am I not thinking?
Some suggestions/questions:
Without knitting, when you run the line reading in the csv, does it work?
Also, are you sure that the error is referring to the data csv? Could it be referring to the (I'm assuming) markdown file you are writing your code in? Have you moved that file since you started working in it?
Are you able to knit other documents to pdf? You need MiKTeX on a windows machine. Does knitting to html work?
I've found R to be a little tricky reading in files. I usually use the base function like this:go to the environment tab>import dataset>from text(base)> (select the file you want, hit open)>(select settings so that the dataframe preview looks right>import. Code that does this will run in the console, and I copy it into my markdown file so that every time it knits, it replicates that successful process.
I figured it out. It's because I forgot to assign a value to an object so it wouldn't knit into a PDF. I made a comment earlier, but it's small so I thought I would add this to the answer section.
I'm currently doing an R Markdown File of an analysis I recently finished using R. With that, whenever I add details, I click Knit to ensure everything I added goes well on the HTML knit file.
I noticed that when I used ggplot on my R Markdown file, the file doesn't knit anymore and it says:
Error while opening file - No Such File or directory.
But when I deleted the ggplot command, it gets knitted again.
But this time, without the visualization, it gets knitted again.
UPDATE: I see this error message on the console tab everytime I use ggplot on my .rmd file.
So with that, I call on install.packages("ggplot2") & library("ggplot2") on my .rmd file. However, I get this error instead.
How will I be able to retain the ggplot command and at the same time be able to knit the file? As an added reference, the ggplot command executes on the .rmd file, it just doesn't knit. Can someone help me please?
I have a report sent to me in the format of an RMD file. Another RMD that contains the code. However, all that I see are empty files when opened. Im using anaconda: Rstudio 3 version 1.1.456 (is this outdated?)
Unless there is a script to open the file?
The .Rmd format is a particular flavor of markdown so you can open the file with any plain text editor to verify that it is not empty and indeed has the code inside.
I have a solution to my problem: For anyone trying to open an Rmd file in the future with similar circumstances.. open the file, while open, Go into "file - Reopen with encoding - UTF-8".
I have 2 scripts. One is an R script and the other an rmarkdown script.
I'm using the following code in the R script to run the markdown script:
rmarkdown::render("my_md_file_path_and_name.Rmd"))
I want to have the .html file it creates output into a folder of my choosing. At the moment it outputs into the same folder where the markdown script is stored.
Is this possible? I've done a lot of googling and although there's a lot of talk on this, i can't find anything which actually works. I'm not very familiar with markdown, so possibly there's a working solution i've read, but didn't fully understand how to code it into my script.
You can use output_file argument.
rmarkdown::render("my_md_file_path_and_name.Rmd",
output_file = '/file/path/out.html')
I am doing an html document from R Markdown (RStudio) and I think I am following the right instructions to show it up. I read the R's Bookdown (https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown) and there says this is the way, or at least this is what I get from it. I am using this only script line to make the image calling:
.
When knitting I get this error message: "File Macintosh HD/Usuarios/ivanmendivelso/Dropbox/Escuela/IntroR Vids/HW.jpeg not found in resource path
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 99
Execution halted".
Does anybody know what am I doing wrong? Why I can not see images in my documents?
Thanks in advance.
It looks like your path is not correct.
If the image can be moved, put it in the same directory as your .Rmd file. If you can't move it to the file directory and if you don't speak UNIX, you can get the path by:
Finding the file with the finder
Right click on it
hold the option key on your keyboard and you will see the menu change from Copy "HW.jpg" to say Copy "HW.jpeg" as pathname
Paste that path into your code.
When you have file spaces in your file path you need to put single quotes around to make them strings
What about this below
.
notice the / at the begining of the file path. on Mac the very first / is meaning from the root of your hard drive
