brendan-r / brocks Goto Github PK

Hello @brendan-r !

I've been following your solution for creating interactive charts directly from RStudio and Jekyll. I am still a humble apprentice regarding R and all its configuration possibilities. The issue I am facing is not being able to run 2/3 of the charts you have in the example post. I serve jekyll with

brocks::blog_serve()

I get the following message

Warning message:
In normalizePath(dirname(f)) : path[1]="NA": No such file or directory

but still able to run the site.

Can we get htmlwidgets to work?

When I go to the article above I see the first chart but for the next one

## Error in loadNamespace(name): there is no package called 'webshot'

And I've been stuck in here ever since. I have a couple of hypothesis but honestly there seem to be so many paths that I don't know which one to choose.

1. Webshot is the issue. I installed all required dependencies and familiar packages from CRAN, ran library(webshot) before running brocs::blog_serve(), install ImageMagick and PhantomJS and classical debugging like using or removing quotes.
2. Different version of RTools. I regularly get a message from different versions but haven't had issues with any other library or package.
3. build.R file should have my jekyll source path explicitly declared though I don't really know how to check those knitr or rmardown config files inside RStudio. Or maybe the fact that brocks::blog_serve() works but brocks::blog_gen() does not. Here I guess RStudio is serving some cached .site folder but not actually rebuilding jekyll to show the rmd example file work after webshot and the other libraries (such as igraph) called. I have gotten the error jekyll_build() function does not exist as well.

Thanks in advance!

Write some

Hi, I stumbled on your blog post about creating a blog with RMarkdown, Jekyll and Github and I tried to follow the instructions in there. Thanks for a great writeup !

However I noticed the sys_open function in this package would fail on Windows:

# Fails
sys_open("_source/new-post/new-post.R")
# Works
sys_open("_source\\new-post\\new-post.R")

'new_interval' is deprecated; use 'interval' instead.

date_to_age <- function (dob, refdate = Sys.time()) {
  suppressWarnings(lubridate::year(
    lubridate::as.period(
      lubridate::interval(dob, refdate))))
}

Hi! I used your package to build my blog, are you planning on making it available? Thanks!
