Invalid or expired token.

I keep getting the following error instead of a browser and log-in:

Auto-refreshing stale OAuth token.
Error in $<-.data.frame(*tmp*, app, value = "google") :
replacement has 1 row, data has 0
In addition: Warning message:
89 - Invalid or expired token.

@jcmundy That probably means you've got an ".httr-oauth" file in your current working directory. I need to include an additional check that can catch this error, but until I do...you should be able to avoid this error by removing the ".httr-oauth" file.

file.remove(".httr-oauth")

If there's not an ".httr-oauth" file, that'll return a warning like this:

> file.remove(".httr-oauth")
[1] FALSE
Warning message:
In file.remove(".httr-oauth") :
  cannot remove file '.httr-oauth', reason 'No such file or directory'

Otherwise, you may have to restart your R session once the file is removed. Then, <fingers crossed>, everything should work fine. And once it does, it should save the path/token for future use (avoiding future instances where you may have an ".httr-oauth" file in a working directory while using rtweet).

This solution worked for me (restarting my R session was required).

Ah yes, it looks like I never responded. This also worked for me and I have been successfully using rtweet since. Thanks!
