Runaway child

[andkov]

@wibeasley , could you please take a look at why this child does not want to be found?

./projects/nlsy97/data_creation_report/dsL_nlsy97_annotated sources a child in the last chunk:

{r child, child = 'LinksAndRefs.Rmd'}

But I invariable get an error

Quitting from lines 123-123 (./LinksAndRefs.Rmd) 
Error in readLines(if (is.character(input2)) { : 
  cannot open the connection
Calls: <Anonymous> ... process_group.block -> call_block -> lapply -> FUN -> knit -> readLines
In addition: Warning message:
In readLines(if (is.character(input2)) { :
  cannot open file './LinksAndRefs.Rmd': No such file or directory
Execution halted

What might be the matter?

Some early guesses, or things to try.

• Should opts_knit$set(root.dir='../../../') be changed to opts_knit$set(root.dir='../../../../')?
• See if this runs by itself: https://github.com/andkov/psy532/blob/master/scripts/data/dsL_nlsy97.R
• pepper the different files with multiples lines of something like cat(getwd())
• Start removing parts of the Rmd file until it's clear which chunk is throwing the error.

BTW, I didn't see {r child, child = 'LinksAndRefs.Rmd'} anywhere I looked. Where is it?

And I have very little experience with child documents in knitr. I'm not opposed to the idea, I just haven't had the need. The last time I used them was around 2012 with Sweave & LaTeX.
