post to confluence from html

[datapixie]

Is there a sub-function somewhere that will post an html I've already rendered from Rmd to confluence? Sometimes I have Rmds that take a while to compile and I don't want to spend time re-rendering if avoidable...

thank you this package is awesome!!

Hi, thanks for using conflr! I think you can convert the HTML to a Markdown file first by pandoc, and then you can add the YAML front-matter and rename it to .Rmd.

Hmm I must be doing that wrong -- I tried

rmarkdown::pandoc_convert("/path/to/test.html",
                          output = "/path/to/test.md")

# Rename test.md to test2.Rmd

conflr::confl_create_post_from_Rmd("/path/to/test2.Rmd",
  interactive = FALSE,
  title = "Test",
  space_key = "SPACE",
  parent_id = 63322513,
  toc = TRUE,
  toc_depth = 7,
  code_folding = "hide",
  update = TRUE,
  minor_edit = TRUE)

And get the error:

Checking the existing images...
Uploading the images...
Error in httr::upload_file(path) : file.exists(path) is not TRUE

I also tried pasting the Yaml info at the top of test2.Rmd but got the same error. Doing conflr::confl_create_post_from_Rmd("/path/to/test.Rmd", ...) works fine...

Sorry, I forgot to comment. It seems the image path needs some tweak to let conflr to find the actual file.

Anyway, I decided to close this issue as supporting the already rendered HTML is out of scope of conflr... Sorry!
