> skim(iris) Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'crayon', details: call: NULL error: 'hasColorConsole' is not an exported object from 'namespace:rstudioapi'

Latest daily build of Rstudio, latest R, other packages. OS X 10.11.6

[haozhu233]

Can you try update your rstudioapi package?

[kporkka]

Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, no effect of updating the rstudioapi, same error message

[kporkka]

Some dependencies missing from my R setup? Could you list them?

[njtierney]

Hey team!

I'm really keen to use this in a conference talk I am giving tomorrow, unfortunately I get an error when I run it interactively in RStudio...

HOWEVER!

When I run reprex on it, I get this:

I am currently running a dev version of RStudio, perhaps this is causing the problem, but I just thought I should document this in case anyone else has the same problem.

[njtierney]

OK, update - I installed the latest version of rstudioapi from rstudio/rstudioapi - this works now! 🎉

Thanks @njtierney, installing the latest dev version of rstudioapi solved the issue for me as well. Nice little thing.

[earino]

@michaelquinn32 should we be more explicit about the required version of rstudioapi?

[elinw]

@earino @michaelquinn32 @haozhu233 Isn't it more the version of RStudio? It seems like if you are using the dev version of RStudio you need the dev version of rstudioapi.

[elinw]

Closing since it is resolved, but the last question needs to be considered.
