Can't disable vignette build when using devtools

Question

When running

==> devtools::check(args = c('--no-build-vignettes','--no-vignettes'))

from RStudio the vignettes are still being build:

...
v  checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... 
-  installing the package to build vignettes (1.4s)
   creating vignettes ...

I configured the Build tools according to: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486518-Customizing-Package-Build-Options

Should including

--no-vignettes do not run R code in vignettes
--no-build-vignettes do not build vignette outputs

not disable the vignette build?

Answer 1

I think you want build_args, which is for arguments passed while building the package, not args which is for arguments passed while checking.
