Vignette build failure: zip file 'part1.zip' cannot be opened

Vignette fails with zip file 'part1.zip' cannot be opened. Build log: https://dev.ropensci.org/job/jstor/lastBuild/console

# Writing 'articles/index.html'

# Error : zip file 'part1.zip' cannot be opened

The reason for this is that part1.zip is very large (> 1GB) and therefore not in the git repo. I always rendered the site locally and then pushed the files to GitHub. It seems that you are moving to having the page deployed off GitHub?

Is there anything I could/should do to resolve this issue @jeroen ?

As an aside: I have not been aware of https://dev.ropensci.org/blue/organizations/jenkins/jstor/activity, which is why I have not attempted to fix it... Somehow I missed this when it was introduced. Is there any mailing list I should be aware of where such things get communicated?

The best solution is if you pre-compute your vignette. So rename your input vignette file to e.g analysing-n-grams.Rmd.orig and then knit it on your local machine like so:

library(knitr)
knit("vignettes/analysing-n-grams.Rmd.orig", "vignettes/analysing-n-grams.Rmd")

That way the docs and cran vignettes get rendered from the Rmd that already has the output.

This is also explained here: https://ropensci.org/technotes/2019/12/08/precompute-vignettes/

We don't have a mailing list, but we announced it on slack and in this blog post: https://ropensci.org/technotes/2019/06/07/ropensci-docs/

Great, thank you! Also thanks for the blog post (https://ropensci.org/technotes/2019/12/08/precompute-vignettes/)! I'll try to fix it in the next 1-2 weeks.

Could you also invite the following email address to slack? t dot klebel at hotmail dot com

Yes, will do!
