Tech Report TeX error

[seananderson]

Describe the bug Default Tech Report doesn't compile with fresh install of tinytex and TexLive.

To Reproduce Run the first unit test in test-render-techreport.R

Expected behavior PDF is created.

Observed behavior

The following TeX error:

! Missing = inserted for \ifnum.
<to be read again> 
                   v
l.14 \RequirePackage
                    [running]{lineno}  % Number lines (editing) 

Desktop:

• Operating system: macOS, but I think @ricardd was getting this on Windows too
• R version: R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23)
• csasdown version: current GitHub version

Additional context I tried commenting out

\RequirePackage[running]{lineno}

in the .sty file, but the error persists with other packages named.

I tried reverting to this commit and that didn't fix it either.

Coming back to this later, I no longer have this issue. The only difference, I think, is that I rendered a resdoc in between, thereby installing a bunch of other TeX packages.

I can confirm the same error running Win10 and R version 4.1.1 (2021-08-10) In my case it's a fresh install of csasdown, MikTex updater was run prior to attempted compile of the techreport's index.Rmd

For me, I deleted tinytex completely, then re-installed from scratch and the first thing I did after installing it was testthat::test_file("tests/testthat/test-render-techreport.R") and it passed all the tests, no errors. I then went through the normal procedure using csasdown::draft() and render() and it built the PDF fine.

Windows 10 R version 4.2.0 (2022-04-22 ucrt) csasdown commit (84596) tinytex version 0.42 Miktex is NOT installed on this machine

I just uninstalled miktex (had to wait for IT to do it, arrggh). Installed tinytex. Started rendering, after 30mins of tinytex installing packages, it rendered a-ok,
