RMarkdown/knitr to HTML with huxtable fails

[mfherman]

I'm a new huxtable user and I'm having some trouble printing a table in HTML via RMarkdown/knitr. When I try to knit a document with the simple example from the huxtable vignette, I get an error.

ht <- hux(
        Employee     = c('John Smith', 'Jane Doe', 'David Hugh-Jones'), 
        Salary       = c(50000, 50000, 40000),
        add_colnames = TRUE
      )
ht

Error in writeLines(output_str, output_file, useBytes = TRUE) :

Just as test, I tried knitting the same document but using knitr::kable instead of hux and the document knits to HTML with no problem.

Any ideas?

Looks like a permissions issue on the folder, but why it should only affect hux I don't know. Can you show me the equivalent pandoc command line using kable

[hughjonesd]

Also can you provide a traceback with options(error=traceback)

[mfherman]

Here is the traceback I get when I try to render the .Rmd file with the hux:

output file: test_hux.knit.md

The pandoc output for the successful kable version looks to be the same as the hux that throws the error

output file: test_kable.knit.md

The only thing I can do is suggest you debug with options(error=recover) and see where and why it is writing to a file and getting permission denied.

Assuming this is not a huxtable issue
