all img.shields.io badges generate error messages

[kalimu]

results in:

pandoc.exe: Could not fetch https://img.shields.io/badge/R%3E=-3.3.1-6666ff.svg TlsExceptionHostPort (HandshakeFailed (Error_Protocol ("expecting server hello, got alert : [(AlertLevel_Fatal,HandshakeFailure)]",True,HandshakeFailure))) "img.shields.io" 443 Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 67

You should give your sessionInfo() along with your reproducible example.

I suspect you use Windows. I had a similar problem, which seems to be a bug with Pandoc on Windows.

To solve my problem, I just added <!-- rmarkdown v1 --> at the top of my Rmd file.

There may be a cleaner way to do this, but for now, I'm just waiting for this bug to be corrected in Pandoc. Lazy lazy :-)

[RMHogervorst]

@kalimu is this still a problem? I see the links are working on github and I have no errors on my machine (windows 64bit) .

Thanks for the reporting! and thanks @privefl for the speedy reaction

[RMHogervorst]

This still keeps happening in my projects as well Perhaps a try catch action?

[jsta]

This is a problem for me but privefl's solution works.

[RMHogervorst]

Weird. What windows version are you using? And are all your packages up to date?

[jsta]

I only get the error if I have badgecreatr loaded via library(). If I restart RStudio (unloading badgecreatr) then I don't need privefls solution.

pandoc 1.16.0.2

[RMHogervorst]

I still think it is mostly a pandoc issue and not related to badgecreatr. Although it does impact this package.

https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/202794236-Bump-pandoc-version-number

I believe the latest version of rstudio has version 1.19 that should fix your bug. Please report back if it doesn't. I will try to find time this weekend

[jsta]

Ok, I upgraded my pandoc and RStudio (although I'm pretty sure pandoc does not ship with the linux RStudio builds). Still seeing error 67 with badgecreatr attached.

pandoc --version

pandoc 1.19.2.1

RStudio version: 1.1.263

[RMHogervorst]

Thank you for testing! I'll let you know what I find this weekend

[jsta]

My best guess is a pandoc issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44136481/render-code-for-google-chart-in-rmarkdown-rmd

[RMHogervorst]

Don't be afraid to upen up the issue again if the new version of badge creatr (and pandoc) gives you this error again, Josheph @jsta .

[aravind-j]

I am facing the same problem with pandoc 1.19.2.1 in windows. Not getting any badges for license, minimal R version, packageversion and last change date.

Only the badges for repo status and CRAN work.

[RMHogervorst]

Thanks for reporting!

[jlmelville]

Not sure if this is the most relevant place for this, but I found this issue while googling for the same pandoc error that others are reporting.

I am using Windows 10 (64-bit) and RStudio 1.1.463. I installed a new version of pandoc from https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest (2.5 at the time of writing) and copied C:\Program Files\Pandoc\pandoc.exe to overwrite C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin\pandoc\pandoc.exe.

"Upgrading" pandoc in this way worked for my needs (previewing markdown in RStudio).

[RMHogervorst]

thank you for responding James! Let's hope the newest Rstudio preview has a newer version of pandoc and fixes this issue. Great solution for anyone who still has problems though!

[jmgirard]

I have also heard that, for many people, the 32-bit version of Pandoc plays more nicely with RStudio than the 64-bit version. Worth trying if you are having these problems.
