Can't rename .Rmd files in ResDoc? #251

Closed DylanMG closed 8 months ago

DylanMG commented 8 months ago

I'm looking at a co-worker's old code where they neatly named their .Rmd files 01_introduction, 02_methods, 03_results and so on. I thought this was logical so I renamed the non-descriptive 01-chap1 to 03 -chap3 that populates the directory when you render("resdoc"). I got an error: 

Error in `map2()`:
ℹ In index: 2.
Caused by error:
! ✖ Could not copy file from 01-chap1.Rmd to tmp-01-chap1.Rmd
Check that file exists in the current directory

which makes it seem like you have to stick to the 01-chap1 type naming convention? Is that the case or is there a bug somewhere? If it is the case, is there guidance on where intro, methods, results, discussion should go in these 3 pre-defined chapter files?

Your Rmd's can be called anything you like as long as they match what is in the _bookdown.yml file and your main file is called index.Rmd. Can you provide more details on the setup or ideally replicate this with a new simple template setup (e.g., after a fresh csasdown::draft("resdoc")) and either provide instructions or zip the files up and pass them on?

It sounds to me from the above that you renamed the files but left the names as 01-chap1.Rmd etc. in the yaml file.

Thank you Sean! I didn't know you also had to change it in the bookdown. Would be good to include that as a section in one of the how-to docs. Will add it to my list.
