Brief description of the problem

this happens on Windows as well. A similar issue is referenced here: #246

I cannot get the awesomeCV or any other CV template from within RStudio to work on Windows or Posit Cloud. Even with the dev release, the issue persists.

Same problem here. ! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. I can not render to PDF.

Hi! My solution is installing vitae version 0.5.3 instaed of version 0.5.4. That works for me.
For the installation of 0.5.3:

• Delete vitae 0.5.4
• packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/vitae/vitae_0.5.3.tar.gz"
• install.packages(packageurl, repos = NULL, type = "source")

That's it.

While this is a very simple solution, I will be forever grateful to you @paulparedes for pointing it out.

That solution is also work on Windows machines. The 0.54 version seems not work at all

Alas, reverting to 0.5.3 does not seem to work on my MacBook. This is a brand new machine I just received and set up on Monday this week.

Closing in favor of the related discussion in #246 - downgrading to v0.5.3 should work if you have previously been able to use vitae, or potentially updating to a newer version of pandoc might also work.
