Knitting as rdocx_document fails when source file is .R about officedown

[davidgohel]

Hi, I think it is related to #38

I will fix it, thanks

[davidgohel]

This is solved now.

I did not know it was possible to have an R file instead of Rmd, thanks for that!

The filename problem appears to persist even with the latest R, rmarkdown, knitr, and (from github) officedown installed.

Given an .R script:

#' ---
#' output: officedown::rdocx_document
#' ---

mtcars

knitted from rstudio

I still receive the same error:

Same issue when the source file is .md. (I understand that rendering .md files may be outside the scope of this package, but I just wanted to make you aware)

library(rmarkdown)
library(officedown)

writeLines(c("# Heading", "", "- item 1", "- item 2", ""), "test-file.md")

render("test-file.md", output_format = rdocx_document())

Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(con, "r") :
  cannot open file './test-file.knit.md': No such file or directory

[davidgohel]

It should be fixed now

[davidgohel]

@seankross your issue is also fixed (by the same solution)
