[R-pkg-devel] Problem with vignette compilation

[EGIDI LEONARDO]

Hi all,

I am ready to submit the ‘footBayes’ package for football models fitting.
However, even though my vignette knits correctly on my local machine and my package reports zero errors/warnings,
I am repeatedly getting this warning/error below when I check on Win builder through devtools::check_win_devel().
I did so many attempts, it is frustrating! I report the error below. The quitting line of the chunk regard a ‘rstan’ fit.
My VignetteBuilder in the description is ‘knitr’
Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

Leonardo
