rmarkdown::render_site() Error in rmarkdown::render_site() : No site generator found

Question

I am trying to knit together 3 files using this example: http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/rmarkdown_websites.html

My files all share the same directory, which has been set in the RStudio build options. I literally copied the YML from the examples with my own file names. Even if I copy the examples directly, I get the same error.

I even ran the site_generator function from the RMarkdown Github: https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/blob/master/R/render_site.R#L157

I noticed there are options for custom generators, which I do not want. All I would like to do is be able to knit together several markdown files into a single webpage and then create a navbar with tabs for each page/section.

Answer 1

lord, my issue was that i didn't set my working directly to where my _site.yml file and index.Rmd files are stored - the little things!
