Error when building quarto articles on GH actions

[DanChaltiel]

Hi,

I tried setting up quarto vignettes, and while it works perfectly on my computer (local), I could not manage to make it work on GH actions. Locally, even pkgdown::build_site_github_pages(new_process = FALSE, install = FALSE) works fine.

For instance, this is the last run I had: https://github.com/DanChaltiel/EDCimport/actions/runs/10092641396/job/27907083693#step:7:393 Here is the workflow: https://github.com/DanChaltiel/EDCimport/actions/runs/10092641396/workflow I hope I did it correctly, but at least I can say that the error message is not specific enough to let me debug this. Note that my vignette uses tabsets.min.js to have tabs.

BTW, it would be nice to reference a minimal reproducible example in the vignette, so that we could simply grab the .qmd file, test that it runs on our setup, and then incrementally change our article it to make what we want.

@DanChaltiel could you please file the example rendering as a separate issue? For that it would be super useful if you could include a minimal qmd that illustrated the problem. Thanks!

I'm not sure what you meant, but I tried to add minimal vignettes to see which would fail. Here is the output: https://github.com/DanChaltiel/EDCimport/actions/runs/10107819848/job/27952452580#step:7:385 aaaaa_test_1.qmd is the exact copy of https://raw.githubusercontent.com/r-lib/pkgdown/main/vignettes/quarto.qmd and still fails.

I'd gladly give you more information but I'm a bit clueless on how to efficiently debug GHActions.

I separated the formula bug in the vignette into another issue as requested.

@DanChaltiel You could try adding tinytex: true in the setup quarto action. You also no longer the pre-release version of Quarto. (They are starting veresion 1.6. It may (or may not) be unstable at the early stage.

Maybe try replacing this in https://github.com/DanChaltiel/EDCimport/blob/b7e63cced82bdaf00deb1fc8367c5c978faa8f5e/.github/workflows/pkgdown.yaml#L30-L35

      - uses: quarto-dev/quarto-actions/setup@v2
        with:
          tinytex: true
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Thanks, I tried it, but the error remains: https://github.com/DanChaltiel/EDCimport/actions/runs/10111494027/job/27963549942#step:7:392

Ok, but I see that this is an article. (i.e. in the vignettes/articles folder as opposed to vignettes/) https://github.com/DanChaltiel/EDCimport/blob/main/vignettes/articles/adverse_events.qmd

If you want it to be a vignette, place it in the vignettes/ folder directly. If you want it to be an article, don't use the vignette declaration.

Use

---
title: "Adverse Events"
description: > 
  Learn how to make AE tables.
format: html
knitr:
  opts_chunk: 
    collapse: true
    comment: '#>'
---

Not sure if this will solve the issue, but it may help.

I have been able to setup Quarto articles in gt. https://github.com/rstudio/gt/blob/master/.github/workflows/pkgdown.yaml

@olivroy How dumb of me, that was the problem! Thank you very much :-)

@hadley feel free to close this issue, but maybe the error message could be a bit more helpful. There also could be a check that articles don't have a vignette declaration.
