kitr problem after R update.

[John Kane]

I had thought that I had apa6 working nicely (I think I was wrong) and decided 
to have a go at comgining it with knitr.

I successfully embedded an inline statement, then created both a table and a 
figure. (see attached file).
Both were running fine untill I updated R yesterday 


I'm suddenly getting the error It seems you are using the Sweave-specific 
sntsx; you may need to run 'Sweave2knitr('basic.knitr.attempt1.Rnw')'

This gives the error :
john@john-K53U:~/Lyx$ Sweave2knitr('basic.knitr.attempt1.Rnw')
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `'basic.knitr.attempt1.Rnw''

I got this with a slightly larger file where I was working with the document 
class apa6 and knitr so for simplicity  I striped my example down to this so it 
appears it is knitr error and not something I have done playing with settings 
to get apa6 and biblatex to work


What stupid error am I making now?  Or do I just have to update things?

If this is the wrong mailing list can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

 I think there are two issues here:
 1. Importing
 2. Using (and exporting)

 Issue 1 seems like a valid request to me and could be filed as an
 enhancement request here: http://www.lyx.org/trac

I don't think hardcoding things like \ba - \begin{align*} is sensible.
Rather, such local customizations should be made known to tex2lyx in a
configuration file. AFAIK, there is already some sort of support in
tex2lyx for such cases. 

 Issue 2 is understandable but I doubt that this will be implemented.
 This is just my personal guess though. You are welcome to file this
 enhancement request also.

Using and exporting could in principle be achieved with a custom layout.
However, using macros instead of environments might be tricky.

Please see the NEWS for knitr 1.0 (now 1.0.5):
https://github.com/yihui/knitr/blob/master/NEWS.md#changes-in-knitr-version-10
Sweave2knitr() is a function in knitr instead of an executable in your
Ubuntu system: http://yihui.name/knitr/demo/sweave/

In your case, the chunk options height=4cm, width=4cm are invalid;
please read the documentation for chunk options:
http://yihui.name/knitr/options On one hand, there are no options
called height and width (only fig.height/fig.width or
out.height/out.width); on the other, 4cm is not a valid R object.

To René Mayer: you also had problems after upgrading knitr, but you
did not show me examples, so I have to guess - maybe you had some
non-ASCII characters in your document, and knitr 1.0 added encoding
support; I have submitted a patch to LyX accordingly:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8504 For now, you can download the new
lyxknitr.R from
https://raw.github.com/yihui/lyx/master/scripts/lyxknitr.R and put it
under ~/lyx/scripts/. After LyX 2.0.6 is out, you will not need it.

Yihui

 This has been discussed on the list before. The best answer I have seen
(in my humble opinion) is to use branches. This (quizzes/mult. choice
