I have a package with a README.Rmd that I pass to rmarkdown::render()
producing README.md and a directory README_files, which contains images in README.md. This looks like the tree below.
README_files is not a standard package directory, so if it isn't in .Rbuildignore, checking the package with R CMD check shows a note:
* checking top-level files ...
NOTE Non-standard file/directory found at top level: README_files
But including the directory in .Rbuildignore leads to a warning, if and only if checking the package --as-cran. IIUC Pandoc tries to generate HTML from README.md, but the images are unavailable, in the ignored README_files directory.
Conversion of ‘README.md’ failed:
pandoc: Could not fetch README_files/unnamed-chunk-14-1.png
README_files/unnamed-chunk-14-1.png: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
Is there any way to get a clean check --as-cran here?
