Quarto Not Rendering-CodePudding

My quarto documents have stopped rendering suddenly. I have reinstalled RStudio and the quarto package, but this issue persists.

When I open a new quarto document, I no longer see the boilerplate material in the new document. The document is empty as if I had selected Create Empty Document, but I haven't.

Then, the document renders when all I include is raw text, but when I include an r code chunk, I get the following message.

Error in xfun::normalize_path(path, ..., must_work = must_work, resolve_symlink = FALSE) : 
  unused argument (resolve_symlink = FALSE)
Calls: .main ... execute -> setwd -> dirname -> <Anonymous> -> normalize_path
Execution halted

Here is the quarto document I'm attempting to render.

title: "Testing"

```{r}
mtcars |> print()
```

CodePudding user response：

Do you have any spaces in the filename or file path? That was preventing me from rendering for a bit.

CodePudding user response：

I was having the exact same issue with knitr, this worked for me:

Remove the package "xfun" from the packages section, then reinstall it immediately after.

I'd tried changing the root install for R and everything. Turns out it was just xfun being weird.

Found the solution on the Posit Community forum.
