Error render function: "path for html_dependency not provided"!

[Ivan Bezerra Allaman]

Hi!

I'm using knitr + rmarkdown to use the render function without success. The error generated when I try to use it: 

render ('input.Rmd', 'html_document') 

Error: path is not provided html_dependency. 

In the official website there is nothing to indicate a relative path or something. Simply say that we can use render ('input.Rmd') and voila! It's not like it's working! 

Not sure this is the correct group to post this, but I found a specific group for that. 

Could anyone help me?

Thank's!

Please attach your input.Rmd, as well as the output of

library(rmarkdown)
sessionInfo()

You may need to update your R packages and retry before you post back. Thanks!

You should call rmarkdown::run() instead of render() because it is a
shiny document (http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/authoring_shiny.html).

Do you have runtime: shiny in your yaml header?
