The Rmarkdown cookbook states that the working directory for r chunks in an Rmd file is usually the directory containing the file, however it can be reset using
knitr::opts_knit$set(root.dir = see: https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/working-directory.html#working-directory I want to set the directory to the parent direcotry of the default directory usually I would acheive this using setwd("..") so in the rmd I used the following: ```{r setup, include=FALSE,} print(getwd()) knitr::opts_knit$set(root.dir = '..') print(getwd()) ``` the print(getwd()) being just to demonstrate the result. There is no change in the directory. How do I change the working directory ? thanks nevil Amos [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
