编织 R Markdown 时出现“错误：pandoc 文档转换失败，错误 1”

Question

I am troubleshooting a less-experienced R user's issue. She is attempting to knit a report that I created. The error started after her laptop was re-imaged, and R/RStudio had to be re-installed. Previously she could knit the report, and I can still knit the file without an error.

The error occurs when it tries to create the file-- it's not an issue with the code. The normal procedure for knitting is to run a.R script, with rmarkdown::render() knitting the html and then writing it out to a different location with a different name. If she manually knits the.Rmd she still gets the error but the.html file with the same name as the.Rmd gets created.

rmarkdown::render("CODE\\SPEECHMINER_MAINTENANCE.RMD", output_format = "html_document", output_dir = "OUTPUT",
            output_file = paste0("SPEECHMINER_MAINTENANCE_REPORT_", format(Sys.Date(), "%Y-%m-%d"), ".html")
)

Below is her session info. As I said earlier, everything is up-to-date because they had to do a fresh install. Her RStudio is 1.2.x, I can get that if necessary.

From what I've read online the typical advise is to update everything. In this case the update precipitated the problem. My system is not as updated. I'm on R 3.4.4, RStudio 1.1.x, knitr 1.22 and rmarkdown 1.12. I don't know much about how pandoc works and I'm thinking that must be the issue-- I'm sure that many folks are able to do this process successfully with the updated versions of R/RStudio/the packages.

Answer 1

Today I found a solution:

In enterprise you have two repositories of file shares

• //societe/test_X
• J:/societe/test_X

If you open your rmd file with the first version, you'll get a pandoc runtime error, but if use the second one, it will succeed.

Remark: J is not a local repository
