Travis errors when the vignette

[dwinter]

At the moment the Travis CI tests are failing. The error message suggests the vignette builder should be rmarkdown rather than knitr

Warning in engine$weave(file, quiet = quiet, encoding = enc) :
  The vignette engine knitr::rmarkdown is not available, because the rmarkdown package is not installed. Please install it.
Error: processing vignette 'rentrez_tutorial.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
It seems you should call rmarkdown::render() instead of knitr::knit2html() because rentrez_tutorial.Rmd appears to be an R Markdown v2 document.

• [x] Update (some of?) the vignette, description and the travis script to use rmarkdown when rendering the vignette

Instead of changing the VignetteBuilderone can also simply change to the container based infrastructure of Travis-CI by removing sudo. So instead of

sudo: required

Use:

sudo: false

(in my case it also works without either statement.)

The problem with changing to rmarkdown as VignetteBuilder is that then devtools::build_vignettes() does not work anymore.

Hello there, Actually, my previous response is wrong. It rather seems one needs to add rmarkdown to Suggests in the DESCRIPTION to get it to work with VignetteBuilder: knitr. Then it works with both the container based infrastructure and the "normal" one. Sorry for the confusion.
