Wrote a previous question related to rendering a quarto document with a .cmd file (quarto_render broken from .bat / .cmd file), but with the recent updates to RStudio, the pathing has changed as well as the commands needed for rendering a quarto doc as html, and I am once again stuck.
Much like before, this is a multi-step process, though I think I have a better understanding, thanks to the previous responses. For one thing, learned that the quarto render executable is from RStudio, not from R, which means updates to the RStudio IDE have a greater impact on the rendering process than R language updates.
RStudio version
(RStudio 2022.12.0+353 "Elsbeth Geranium" Release (..., 2022-12-03) for Windows Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) RStudio/2022.12.0+353 Chrome/102.0.5005.167 Electron/19.1.3 Safari/537.36)
R Version (4.2.2)
File 1 - test_doc.qmd
- Create a new .qmd document (I called mine test_doc.qmd).
- Set to an output of html, and kept default YAML and other text. No modifications.
File 2 - test.cmd
After running the first two lines in the command prompt, and PAUSE the Error output is written below. This is a vexing error, since I've tried various iterations of the code below to account for this error, but then keep getting other error messages
