For error `could not find function "parser"`: fail more gracefully about blogdown HOT 3 CLOSED

@CerebralMastication Should be fixed now. Thanks for the report! You can install the development version via

remotes::install_github('rstudio/blogdown')

@cderv Yes, in theory, switch() here should fall back to an (informative) error, but this case should never happen. It happened because of a regex problem in module_paths(), which I just fixed.

It seems indeed that

Error in parser(f) : could not find function "parser"

comes from

And we could fail more gracefully in the (unexpected) case where parser() is not a function.

Regarding why you have this error, I'll look closer.

Thanks for looking into this !

Yeah I know, it should never happen, but when it happens like here, having a useful error or debug log would have made finding the issue straighforward. I agree though that this is internal and not user facing and should not happen !

Thank you !
