Can't coerce to transaction using as (df, "transactions") when executed with Rscript

[nirsisense]

Hi,
I'm trying to run the following script:
data <- list(
c("a","b","c"),
c("a","b"),
c("a","b","d"),
c("b","e"),
c("b","c","e"),
c("a","d","e"),
c("a","c"),
c("a","b","d"),
c("c","e"),
c("a","b","d","e")
)
as(data, "transactions")

through command line Rscript and get an error:
Error: could not find function "as"
Execution halted

Ensure that the dependencies of the arules package are loaded. as is a function from the package "methods"

[nirsisense]

What are the dependent package I need to load?
I tried load "methods"
library("arules")
library("methods")
data <- list(
c("a","b","c"),
c("a","b"),
c("a","b","d"),
c("b","e"),
c("b","c","e"),
c("a","d","e"),
c("a","c"),
c("a","b","d"),
c("c","e"),
c("a","b","d","e")
)
trans <- as(data, "transactions")
still fails in Rscript but runs fine in RStudio

Hmmmm the same lines of code are working for me, both in RStudio and RScript, event without loading "methods" explicitly...Do you have any other possible packages in the environment that could overwrite the definition of the as function ? Executing ?as in the command line gives you any result?

What OS and R version are you using?

Also, try to reinstall the package with install.packages("arules", dependencies=T)

@nirsisense is correct. This has nothing to do with arules. You need to explicitly load methods when you use Rscript.

ok, thanks. It works now
