Failure to Render using here function with read_csv function

[Mob]

Hello,

I am trying to generate an html output using qmd but I am getting an error when using the here to direct to the proper location to read a csv file here function.

df <- read_csv(here("folder1", "folder2", "folder3", "folder4", "fileofinterest.csv"))

This code works to generate df but when I render/knit it generates the following error:

processing file: Homework-1.rmarkdown
|....... | 13% [unnamed-chunk-1]
Quitting from lines at lines 57-71 [unnamed-chunk-1] (Homework-1.rmarkdown)
Error:
! 'C:/Users/self/Documents/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/fileofinterest.csv' does not exist.
Backtrace:

1. readr::read_csv(...)
2. vroom (local) <fn>("C:/Users/self/Documents/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/fileofinterest.csv")
3. vroom:::check_path(path)

---

I do not know why when rendering/knitting it generates the folder 1 through 4 twice. I am sure it is the read_csv function but do not know how to fix it.

The correct path should be

C:/Users/self/Documents/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/fileofinterest.csv

You need to understand what is here::here() returning when you are rendering you document.

It seems the here::here() is already C:/Users/self/Documents/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/
