No manual pdf created during build of R package

Question

I see that my recent package build no longer creates a manual even though I have not added "--no-manual" to the build settings. I didn't have this problem before - I have recently updated both devtools and roxygen2.

Am I missing something?

Here is how I set my project options:

Try in plain R console to ensure that problem is related to RStudio/roxygen/devtools and not to R. – Rope

Answer 1

A solution would just be to run $ R CMD Rd2pdf <package name> if the package is already built, or uncheck Use devtools package functions if available

For whatever reason, devtools injects --as-cran --no-manual into the build process, even though you don't specify it as a user (you can see this in your build log in RStudio).

Thank you for this information! The unchecking trick does indeed work. I have notified Hadley of the issue. – Peppercorn
