Why does rendering a pdf from rmarkdown require closing rstudio between renders?
Background
I am trying to make a rmarkdown document that is rendered using render() . The render call has two elements that are parameterized:
output_format() . kableExtra package) are latex or html. This is the rmarkdown file called test.Rmd
---
title: "Title"
author: "Zzz Zzzzzz"
params:
table_format:
value
---
```{r setup}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)
options(knitr.table.format = params$table_format)
```
## Test table
```{r cars}
if (params$table_format == "latex"){
kable(iris[1:100,], booktabs = T) %>%
kable_styling(latex_options = c("scale_down"))
}
if (params$table_format == "html"){
kable(iris[1:100,]) %>%
kable_styling(bootstrap_options = c("striped", "hover")) %>%
scroll_box(width = "500px", height = "600px")
}
params$table_format
```
Now here are the two calls to render the file:
rmarkdown::render("test.Rmd", output_format = "pdf_document", params = list(
table_format = "latex"
))
rmarkdown::render("test.Rmd", output_format = "html_document", params = list(
table_format = "html"
))
Problem
Now if I open up a fresh rstudio session I can run both render calls no problem. Either .pdf or an .html file is created. However if I then try to run the .pdf render again i get the following error:
"C:/Program Files/RStudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc" +RTS -K512m -RTS test.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output test.pdf --template "C:UserssalbersRwin-library3.4rmarkdownrmdlatexdefault-1.17.0.2.tex" --highlight-style tango --latex-engine pdflatex --variable graphics=yes --variable "geometry:margin=1in" ! Undefined control sequence. begin {tabular}{rrrrl} toprule Sepal.Length & Sepal.Width & Pet... l.267 end{tabular}}
pandoc.exe: Error producing PDF Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 43 In addition: Warning message: running command '"C:/Program Files/RStudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc" +RTS -K512m -RTS test.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output test.pdf --template "C:UserssalbersRwin-library3.4rmarkdownrmdlatexdefault-1.17.0.2.tex" --highlight-style tango --latex-engine pdflatex --variable graphics=yes --variable "geometry:margin=1in"' had status 43
The html render works fine over and over again. If I close rstudio, then ropen the project, the render for pdf work fine as well.
Question
Hmm, let me post the solution first. To solve this behavior, you need to put the following stuff in your yaml section. I also added a function kableExtra_latex_packages() in the dev version earlier this week to bring up the following texts.
header-includes:
- usepackage{booktabs}
- usepackage{longtable}
- usepackage{array}
- usepackage{multirow}
- usepackage[table]{xcolor}
- usepackage{wrapfig}
- usepackage{float}
- usepackage{colortbl}
- usepackage{pdflscape}
- usepackage{tabu}
- usepackage{threeparttable}
- usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
If you are curious why there is such an odd behavior, here is a short explanation. When you first load kableExtra in a rmarkdown environement, it will try to put the LaTeX package information above into the rmarkdown metadata using the usepackage_latex() function that comes with this package. It works fine if you just hit the knit button because every "knit+rendering" process is supposed to be isolated. However, surprisingly (btw thanks for bringing it up), as we see it here, if you are trying to render from console, since (my assumption) knitr or rmarkdown is trying to reuse some cached results, this process failed to replicate. It turns out these LaTeX package dependencies were not put into the tex file being generated and ends up with an error. If you close RStudio and restart it, of course, the temporary memory it has will be gone and you should be able to load those packages again. I feel like it could be a global-variable-related bug in rmarkdown. I guess we can fix it by adding a "forget the meta" part at the end of the render function but I need to look it that.
Part of it was my bad for not providing enough documentations on LaTeX packages that were used in past releases. Now, I added a new section about this issue at the very beginning of the package vignette of kableExtra 0.5.0, which was released earlier this week. Feel free to check it out. Also, as I said earlier, in current dev version, you can bring up the list using the function kableExtra_latex_packages() .
In my case, @Hao answer didn't work...I finally managed unloading the kableExtra package after each render execution, as follows:
rmarkdown::render('torender.Rmd')
detach("package:kableExtra", unload=TRUE)
It should be possible also selecting the environment using something like
rmarkdown::render('torender.Rmd',envir=new.env(some parameters))
which is cleaner....but I didn't manage this way!
