This will fix #857
Currently in
render_book, whenoutput_dir = ".", it will be set internally toNULLas bookdown will ignore it in several placesbookdown/R/utils.R
Lines 82 to 94 in 581bb63
Currently,
clean_empty_dirthrows an error whenoutput_diris NULLbookdown/R/render.R
Lines 78 to 79 in 581bb63
With this PR,
clean_empty_dirwill also ignoreoutput_dir = NULLas the current working directory will not be empty and we don't want to remove it anyway.From my understanding,
dircould be NULL forclean_empty_dironly in this special case, as otherwiseoutput_dirname()will have resolved differently.This PR also adds tests for this utils function.
