I am trying to compile a pdf report of my R code. I imported the dataset using the menu options but am now having trouble compiling it because R cannot find the .csv files I used. I have triple checked and the working directory is correct.

I get this error:

Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'filename' not found
Calls: <Anonymous>...withVisible...-> eval with Userhandlers -> eval -> eval
Execution Halted

Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Tried getwd() and setwd() but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Double checked file names and location.

    Are you using an rmarkdown document? Note that those documents must be self contained because they are run in separate R sessions. Nothing in your global environment is available to the document when you compile it. It's easier to help you if you include a simple [reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) with the least amount of code to trigger the same error. Make sure `filename` is defined in the document itself. – MrFlick Dec 12 '22 at 20:21

Are you trying to compile an RMarkdown file to pdf? If so, you can specify the working directory in the beginning like this:

knitr::opts_knit$set(root.dir = '/tmp')

At any rate, it should also work if you use the full path name as filename.
