Dear Mick,

Note that both knitr and rmarkdown are listed under Suggests: both are
required to compile the vignette. Installing rmarkdown should solve
the problem. If not, please provide more information. OS, R version,
digest version, ...


This is occurring in the context of an automated testing environment that compares the output of GnuR and FastR. I'm using tools::testInstalledPackage with the default values for 'types'. I guess the problem is that there is no connection between this step and the previous package install step (that did use --install-tests) but didn't install the "Suggests" dependencies because in general these are not needed. But I still am not clear why knitr doesn't list rmarkdown as a dependency when it clearly will try to use it. To me that is is not "Suggests" dependency.
