Styler crashes

[bernt-matthias]

I'm trying to run style_file on a Rmd file

style_file("tools/phi-toolkit/report.Rmd", indent_by = 4)

and get:

Styling  1  files:
 tools/phi-toolkit/report.Rmd ⚠ 
────────────────────────────────────────
Status	Count	Legend 
✔ 	0	File unchanged.
ℹ 	0	File changed.
✖ 	1	Styling threw an error.
────────────────────────────────────────
Warning message:
When processing tools/phi-toolkit/report.Rmd: there is no package called ‘knitr’ 

Wondering if there is a way to know what the error is.

Also wondering about the warning. Yes, the Rmd file uses knitr, but static code analysis should not import anything from the code, or?

[MichaelChirico]

knitr is required to get the correct structure of an Rmd file

Thanks for the prompt reply. Maybe a slightly more verbose error would be helpful, or?

[MichaelChirico]

I think it makes sense, would you be open to filing a PR?

I'm only an occasional R user and I guess I would need a lot of help. Would not know where to start.
