crashing whilst addinslist is updating

[scbrown86]

This is crashing whilst trying to update the list of rstudio addins. See below. Selecting the addin from the Rstudio addins menu shows the exact same behaviour. The problem is there whether I use the version on cran (install.packages('addinslist')), or installing from github (devtools::install_github('daattali/addinslist'))

Hm I'm not abe to reproduce. If you have access to another machine, are you able to reproduce this error on a different machine?

Looks like I have a similar problem. I've installed and am trying to use the addinslist addin within RStudio but encounter an error on selecting addinslist from the Addins menu in RStudio: Loading required package: shiny

Listening on http://127.0.0.1:6507 pandoc: ~/Library/Application Support/addinsrepo/addins.md: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) Warning: Error in : pandoc document conversion failed with error 1   57: stop   56: rmarkdown::pandoc_convert   55: update_addins_file   54: update_addins_list   53: update_addins_list_values   52: refresh_list   51:   49: server Error : pandoc document conversion failed with error 1

This suggests to me that the markup file being produced cannot be found by pandoc. I can see what I think is the generated markup file in question at: /Users/jim/Library/Application Support/addinsrepo/addins.md  

If my assumption above is correct, how do I go about fixing this so that pandoc finds the file to display?

@jeam-github your error seems very different so I opened a separate issue for it.
