I don't know the answer (there are multiple possible reasons for the
file not being found), but as the first step to debug the problem, you
may replace this chunk
```{r, echo=FALSE}
library(knitr)
source("helper.R", local = knitr::knit_global())
summarized_table<-give_table(params$ldf_summary)
kable(summarized_table,"simple")
```
with
```{r}
getwd()
list.files()
```
and see what the working directory is, and which files are available.
