Issue when creating pdf file while running knit, output file does not exist (knit-HTML is fine)

[leoyuanye]

Output created: HW0.pdf
Error in tools::file_path_as_absolute(output_file) :
file 'HW0.pdf' does not exist
Calls: ->
In addition: Warning messages:
1: running command '"pdflatex" -halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode "HW0.tex"' had status 1
2: In readLines(logfile) : incomplete final line found on 'HW0.log'
Execution halted

I have no issue when running the knit-HTML, is just the pdf version.

Besides, I have checked the pdflatex is installed by running in command terminal.
it's the latest version of MikTeX.

New problems producing pdf from Rmarkdown

The "official" answer is here: https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/issues/1285#issuecomment-374340175 Personally I don't recommend downgrading to rmarkdown 1.8.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
