buildVignettes fails with layers_csn3.pdf not found.

[benmarwick]

Not quite sure why this is happening, since I can see the pdf file in the directory with the Rnw file... I'm doing this in the RStudio I get from docker run -d -p 8787:8787 sje30/eglen2015 I've never had any problem like this with my own work, though I use a 'figures' directory within the vignette directory to hold this kind of thing. What do you think? Can you build the vignette in the docker container?

Thanks for checking this Ben! I think I know the problem -- that pdf
(layers_csn3.pdf) is a diagram that was made from inkscape, and I forgot
to include in the .install_extras file. Now trying a new build to see
if that fixes it!

Can you please try again? It works for me now.

Yes, that's done the trick, tools::buildVignettes("eglen2015") results in the PDF now. I hadn't heard of.install_extras before, good to know about that!

I was the rOpenSci workshop two weeks ago and we discussed R packages as research compendia (these threads sum up the major topics of discussion: 1, 2) and I heard of a few people who are using the package structure, but including a manuscript directory that contains the Rmd/Rnw and styling files, for example: https://github.com/cboettig/nonparametric-bayes I'm going with the vignette-as-manuscript approach as you have here, because I like to have the build and check mechanics work on my manuscript as well as code. But there are a few people who see vignettes in a more narrow way, it seems.
