Can't fetch resource when rendering website (network drive issue?)

[jack-davison]

Good afternoon,

I'm really enjoying using Quarto on my personal machine, but am having some issues on a work PC. I believe issues may relate to being stuck either working on a network drive or on OneDrive. This issue relates to using a Quarto in a project stored in OneDrive (we don't appear to have access to a local documents folder...)

When I render a website using quarto::quarto_render() and the RStudio job pane lights up, I get frequent messages like these:

While Quarto can't fetch these things, the site still appears to render. What may be causing these warnings to appear? While the site still works, I believe I am having other issues with Quarto being able to find files, e.g., these popups when I try to render individual pages:

Outputs which may be useful:

> quarto::quarto_path()
[1] "C:\\Users\\myuser\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Quarto\\bin\\quarto.cmd"

NB: inspect output has been trimmed a little as the website is pretty big!

> quarto::quarto_inspect()

The problem is likely to be self-contained: true (it looks like pandoc isn't able to fetch resources on these filesystem paths)

This solved the warnings in the render pane - glad it was something this easy! Although I do still get the pop-up "system cannot find the file specified" when rendering a single page (although the page does still show up in viewer).
