This question was posed on SO : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58118495/passing-extra-argumenets-to-devtoolsbuild but there has been no useful reply.
Something seems to have changed in the |devtools|package, so that the following commands, that used to run now give an error I can't decipher: |>Sys.setenv(R_GSCMD="C:/Program Files/gs/gs9.21/bin/gswin64c.exe")>devtools::build(args =c('--resave-data','--compact-vignettes="gs+qpdf"'))The filename,directory name,or volume label syntax is incorrect. Error in(function(command =NULL,args =character(),error_on_status =TRUE,:System command error| I've tried other alternatives with other |devtools| commands, like just passing a single argument, but still get the same error |args ='--compact-vignettes="gs+qpdf"'devtools::check_win_devel(args=args)| I'm using devtools 2.2.0, under R 3.5.2 -- Michael Friendly Email: friendly AT yorku DOT ca Professor, Psychology Dept. & Chair, ASA Statistical Graphics Section York University Voice: 416 736-2100 x66249 4700 Keele Street Web: http://www.datavis.ca | @datavisFriendly Toronto, ONT M3J 1P3 CANADA [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
