[Bioc-devel] Error processing scater vignette Mac OS X Sierra

Hi all

  

Since updating to Mac OS X Sierra (the only system change I can think of),
building the vignette in scater throws an error. It seems to be caused by
excess arguments to pandoc, but this has never been a problem until now (the
vignette hasn't changed in any major way for months).

  

Has anyone else seen this? Do you know how to fix?

  

Details (error messages, session info etc) below.

The error message reads:  
```  
Error: processing vignette 'vignette.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:  
unused arguments (self_contained, lib_dir, output_dir)  
Execution halted  
Error: Command failed (1)  
Execution halted  
  
Exited with status 1.  
```

  

Running the vignette outside of R CMD check runs fine until the final step of
converting the .md file to html, which fails with the  same error as above:

```

Error in rmarkdown:::pandoc_html_highlight_args(highlight, template =
"default",  :  
 unused arguments (self_contained, lib_dir, output_dir)  
Calls: <Anonymous> -> <Anonymous> -> overlay -> <Anonymous>  
Execution halted  

```

  

Unfortunately there's not really enough information there for me to know
what's going on.
