check_model(model) is no longer working

[collins-nancy]

The check_model() function is no longer working. When I run the code, I no longer receive the plots. There is no error, just no output. I have run this code many times with no problems.

I tried every fix that I could find from Claude, Gemini, and Chapgtp. I also reviewed past guidance on your github. I updated all the packages, checked the graphics windows, and applied every suggested fix. I still get no output. Any advice?

Here is my simple code (running in Quarto, either as a code chunk or in a rendered document).

easystats::install_suggested()
library(easystats)

step1 <- lm(distneg ~ anxious + avoidant, df1)
summary(lm.beta(step1))
check_model(step1)

Thanks for any help you can offer.
Best, Nancy

Are you working in RStudio, Posit, or another environment?

Can you post a reproducible example we can run or share your dataset?

Thank you. I am working in RStudio.

Is there any warning/error printed from check_model()? If not, try re-running with argument verbose = TRUE.

This is a known issue, here's a possible list of solutions (we should also add these to the docs in the TROUBLESHOOTING section):

• To fix this issue, please make the window larger.
• If this still doesn't resolve your problems, you may check whether your apps are rescaled. On Windows, this can be done in the display settings (Start > Settings > System > Display, "Scale and layout"). Reduce the scaling and try again.
• You can try to decrease the base font-size of your theme before plotting. Load library(ggplot2) and run: theme_set(theme_classic(base_size = 6))
• Finally, make sure to update your packages (in particular ggplot2 and patchwork) using update.packages(ask = FALSE).
• The RStudio 'Plots' window is too small to show this set of plots. Resize it.
• If this doesn't help, try to reset your zoom settings. In RStudio, go to Menu "View > Actual Size" and then retry.
• The viewport is too small to show this set of plots.
• If this doesn't help, try to reset the zoom settings of your IDE and then retry.

Let me know if some of the steps work.

[collins-nancy]

Thanks so much. I'll try all of these options and report back! Regarding errors - I do not have any errors or warnings. The code is read, but nothing appears. Thank you! I'll update soon, Nancy

Regarding errors - I do not have any errors or warnings. The code is read,
but nothing appears.

Try check_model(..., verbose = TRUE) and see if you get any useful information then. Else, try the troubleshooting list above :-)
