I'm getting the following error when trying to build this gitbook on my local machine (was trying to use it as a template for creating my own work):

https://github.com/lgatto/IntroMachineLearningWithR

Error:

Error in x[i] <- sprintf("<a href=\"%s#%s\"", filenames[which.max(lines[lines <= : replacement has length zero

Calls: <Anonymous> ... <Anonymous> -> split_chapters -> restore_links -> lapply -> FUN

Also the warning below comes up, but this is probably less mission critical to fix:

In addition: Warning message: In split_chapters(output, gitbook_page, number_sections, split_by, : You have 6 Rmd input file(s) but only 5 first-level heading(s). Did you forget first-level headings in certain Rmd files?

Have you tried the dev version of bookdown? remotes::install_github('rstudio/bookdown')Hydric

I'm very late to the game on this one, but make sure the first-level heading in the .rmd file you're knitting is #, and not ## or ### and so on. I was having the same error, and this resolved it for me.
