devtools::check() does not respect --no-build-vignettes

[mkhezr]

As suggested in R Packages - Automated Checking, I added --no-build-vignettes to the commands list in “Build Source Packages” field in the project options. And restarted Rstudio too. Still when I run devtools::check() the vignettes get built.

I'm running RStudio Version 1.0.153. and here is the output of R.version:

platform x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0

The --no-build-vignettes needs to go in the Check Package dialog to be added when running R CMD check() and the check needs to be run with build->Check from within RStudio to pick up the option.

I am having a very similar issue, but I do have addedd --no-build--vignettes to the configure build tools:

Nevertheless, running build>Check keeps building vignettes ...
I am using Version 1.1.383 of Rstudio on a Ubuntu 17.10 desktop.
devtools::session_info() gives:

You actually need --no-build-vignettes in both the build and check steps to avoid building them completely.

Thanks Jim, that indeed was the case.
