generate_badge() fails

[seblammers]

Hi Karthik!
When I try to run generate_badge() it gives me the following error message:

Error: Invalid block specification.
Must start with <!-- badges: start --> and end with <!-- badges: end -->

My session info is:

This looks like an awesome project and I would love to make it run for me as well :)

Hi @seblammers
Thanks for raising the issue. I can confirm this problem. I'll investigate shortly and update the issue soon.

Hi @karthik ,
if you have any pointers on how I could help in this issue, I'd be happy to try stuff out.

Seems like the problem lies with usethis::use_badge() inside your generate_badge()-function...?

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi @karthik ,
if you have any pointers on how I could help in this issue, I'd be happy to try stuff out.

Simply an extra tab that should not be there, see my issue here. Remove this tab and everything should work fine.
(However @seblammers , I would be curious about the main point of my issue: since you are also trying to use R 4.0.3, do you manage to do that with this template?)
