Quarto Render not Rendering

Question

I am trying out Quarto, I am using R version 4.2.1. When I go to RStudio, File -> New File -> Quarto Document and create a new document, when I try to render via the RStudio Render button, I get the error 'C:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable progam or batch file

I have tried installing R in a directory which has no white space in the installation path, but this did not resolve the issue.

UPDATE: on doing quarto check as suggested in comment gave me

Not sure what that means, but I was able to solve the problem by ensuring my qmd quarto file did not have white space in its name (replaced white space with underscores. The error then went away.

Please go to the terminal tab (next to jobs) and type: quarto check. Then edit the results into your original questions. — itsMeInMiami

On changing my qmd file name, from HVL campaign.qmd to HVL_campaign.qmd (removing the white space), the rendering works. The error message was misleading though, that may need to get looked at...?

This error pops up if there is a space anywhere in the filepath unfortunately. I am running into this error when I try to make a new project in a directory that has a filepath with a space (thanks onderive...)
