Paths in Vignettes Not Being Created/ Found

[anthonyjlau]

I have noticed that a reoccurring error I have when trying to run the vignette notebooks is that files or paths cannot be found.

An example of this is from the github_api_showcase.Rmd when I run:

kaiaulu/vignettes/github_api_showcase.Rmd

Lines 91 to 92 in 9294a9b

	dir.create(save_path_commit)
	github_api_iterate_pages(token,gh_response,save_path_commit,prefix="commit")

I get an error stating that it cannot create a directory called commit and it cannot find a sailuh_kaiaulu_commit_p_1.json file.

Another example is when I run line_metrics_showcase.Rmd:

kaiaulu/vignettes/line_metrics_showcase.Rmd

Line 81 in 9294a9b

git_checkout(git_branch,git_repo_path)

I get an error very similar to the one in #147 . I looked through that discussion but I could not find, or maybe not understand, a solution.

I have looked through the apr.yml and kaiaulu.yml config files to see the paths that are assigned to the variables.

I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to setup my config files, the tools.yml file, or my directory setup. Thanks!

You have to specify on the project configuration file the path you expect the files to be downloaded. Could you check the folder where commit is trying to be created exists?

I found that the paths had to be manually created and the project configuration file had to be changed from the default. I got rid of the default * .. * notation in the paths and just used a direct path to the folder.
