[BUG?] Can not upload file without YAML header

[Dobrokhotov1989]

Hi,

I have a problem uploading a child Rmd file that does not contain YAML header. Specifically upload_file() returns error "Error: There are some issues in the identification of YAML start/end line indexes" when hide_code = TRUE. Upload works just fine if hide_code = FALSE or with empty YAML header.

I'm not sure whether it is a really bug or it's kinda "safety feature" that you need to preserve.

Hi @Dobrokhotov1989!

Thanks for reporting this problem. I would say it is a "Black Swan Fallacy". When developing the code I thought "All Rmd documents have a YAML header" but I was wrong, child Rmd files exist😅...

Actually, there are no safety reasons behind this so I will make the required changes to allow uploading documents without YAML header as well. I need only to do some checks. In a few days, I will update everything!

Thanks again!

Hi @Dobrokhotov1989,

sorry for the long time it took me to fix this. Now child files are supported and the argument hide_code = TRUE can be used regardless of whether the file contains header code and/or chunks or not. So everything should be fine.

Changes are in the new version of the package (v 1.1.0). The new version is still in the develop branch (I could not yet merge changes in the master branch due to some issues in the Github actions). You can install it by,

remotes::install_github("ClaudioZandonella/trackdown", ref = "develop")

Shortly I will merge changes in the master branch and upgrade the CRAN version as well.

Again thank you for helping to improve the package!❤️
