build_readme() does not find README in non interactive mode

[ThierryO]

One of my functions check if the README.Rmd is build when it exists. I test my function via a unit test. When I run the unit test interactively if works as expected. When I run devtools::test() it fails with Can't find a 'README.Rmd' or 'inst/README.Rmd' file. (the related line in the devtools code).

I'm puzzled why this should happen as my code only runs build_readme() when the README.Rmd exists.

  if (file_test("-f", file.path(x$get_path, "README.Rmd"))) {
    status_before <- status(repo)
    build_readme(x$get_path, encoding = "UTF-8")
    doc_error <- c(
      doc_error,
      "`README.Rmd` need to be rendered. Run `devtools::build_readme()`"[
        !unchanged_repo(repo, status_before)
      ]
    )
  }

Thanks for opening the issue.

This looks like a bug that was introduced in a recent revision, the path argument was not being correctly passed to dir_ls(). It should be fixed now, if you could test your code with the current master branch and confirm it is fixed that would be great.

I can confirm that the problem is solved. Thanks for the quick fix.
