Can't get saspdf engine to run in R Markdown

tjfarrar commented 1 year ago

I am trying to follow these instructions to generate SAS LaTeX output in R Markdown. The instructions do not indicate that any special chunk options are required when using the saspdf engine, so I used the chunk options suggested here. However, when I compile the .Rmd file to a PDF, I get the following error message:

Error in `engine()`:
! object 'out.log' not found

Below is my minimal working example of an R Markdown file. The data file abc.csv consists of just a column of letters a to e and a column of numbers 1 to 5. The compile is successful (with verbatim output) if the engine is set to sas in the chunk, but if I change it to saspdf to generate LaTeX output, the above error is thrown.

               engine.opts=list(sas=sasopts, saslog=sasopts),
                      comment=NA,
                      echo=TRUE, collectcode = TRUE)

You may have needed

opts_chunk$set(engine.path=list(saspdf=saspath, saspdflog=saspath),

           engine.opts=list(sas=saspdfopts, saspdflog=sasopts),

                  comment=NA,
                  echo=TRUE, collectcode = TRUE)

You actually could get away without setting the engine.path or engine.opts, since those are the defaults.

Fixing the engine.path problem unearthed a problem with collectcode and saspdf.

This has now been fixed in SASmarkdown 0.8.3. I’ve uploaded that here (GitHub), and will work on sending that to CRAN as well.
