Render Puzzle Docs
Render the jigsawR Quarto documentation site.
When to Use
- Building the full documentation site after content changes
- Rendering a single page during iterative editing
- Preparing documentation for a release or PR
- Debugging render errors in Quarto .qmd files
Inputs
- Required: Render mode (
,fresh
, orcached
)single - Optional: Specific .qmd file path (for single-page mode)
- Optional: Whether to open the result in a browser
Procedure
Step 1: Choose Render Mode
| Mode | Command | Duration | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh | | ~5-7 min | Content changed, cache stale |
| Cached | | ~1-2 min | Minor edits, cache valid |
| Single | Direct quarto.exe | ~30s | Iterating on one page |
Expected: Render mode selected based on the current situation: fresh for content changes or stale cache, cached for minor edits, single for iterating on one page.
On failure: If unsure whether the cache is stale, default to fresh render. It takes longer but guarantees correct output.
Step 2: Execute Render
Fresh render (clears
_freeze and _site, re-executes all R code):
cd /mnt/d/dev/p/jigsawR && bash inst/scripts/render_quarto.sh
Cached render (uses existing
_freeze files):
cd /mnt/d/dev/p/jigsawR && bash inst/scripts/render_quarto.sh --cached
Single page (render one .qmd file directly):
QUARTO_EXE="/mnt/c/Program Files/RStudio/resources/app/bin/quarto/bin/quarto.exe" "$QUARTO_EXE" render quarto/getting-started.qmd
Expected: Render completes without errors. Output in
quarto/_site/.
On failure:
- Check for R code errors in .qmd chunks (look for
markers)#| label: - Verify pandoc is available via
env varRSTUDIO_PANDOC - Try clearing cache:
rm -rf quarto/_freeze quarto/_site - Check that all R packages used in .qmd files are installed
Step 3: Verify Output
ls -la /mnt/d/dev/p/jigsawR/quarto/_site/index.html
Confirm the site structure:
existsquarto/_site/index.html- Navigation links resolve correctly
- Images and SVG files render properly
Expected:
index.html exists and is non-empty. Navigation links resolve, and images/SVGs render correctly in the browser.
On failure: If
index.html is missing, the render likely failed silently. Re-run with verbose output and check for R code errors in .qmd chunks. If only some pages are missing, verify those .qmd files are listed in _quarto.yml.
Step 4: Preview (Optional)
Open in Windows browser:
cmd.exe /c start "" "D:\\dev\\p\\jigsawR\\quarto\\_site\\index.html"
Expected: The documentation site opens in the Windows default browser for visual inspection.
On failure: If the
cmd.exe /c start command fails from WSL, try explorer.exe "D:\\dev\\p\\jigsawR\\quarto\\_site\\index.html" instead. Alternatively, navigate to the file manually in the browser.
Validation
-
exists and is non-emptyquarto/_site/index.html - No render errors in console output
- All R code chunks executed successfully (check for error messages)
- Navigation between pages works
- All .qmd files have
on code chunks for clean output#| label:
Common Pitfalls
- Stale freeze cache: If R code changed, use fresh render to regenerate
files_freeze - Missing R packages: Quarto .qmd files may use packages not in renv; install them first
- Pandoc not found: Ensure
is set inRSTUDIO_PANDOC.Renviron - Long render times: Fresh render takes 5-7 minutes (14 pages with R execution); use cached mode during iteration
- Code chunk labels: All R code chunks should have
for clean rendering#| label:
