install.packages("testthat") should fix this error.

I confirm the same problem on Ubuntu Linux. The suggested solution didn't work.

I'm working on fixing this issue now.

schwab · 2016-04-14T14:48:21Z

Thanks for looking into this problem Sean. I'm getting the same issue as well for a Coursera class and found this thread while searching for a solution. If you need any further details, I've subscribed to notifications here and can reproduce it currently.

seankross · 2016-04-14T15:28:52Z

Temporary workaround:

install.packages("ghit")
library(ghit)
install_github("swirldev/swirl[stable]")
library(swirl)
swirl()

I'm working on a permanent solution that will be released as quickly as possible.

prince1809 · 2016-04-14T15:35:28Z

Thank you

It worked

schwab · 2016-04-14T17:15:13Z

Also verified this work-around corrected it for me on Ubuntu 15.10. Thanks for getting it out there so fast!

seankross · 2016-04-15T00:04:02Z

Please download the latest version of swirl with install.packages("swirl"). This should resolve the issue. Make sure your installed version of swirl is 2.4.1 or later.

jarturomora · 2016-04-17T11:13:38Z

Dear @seankross thanks for your effort solving this problem and for your great contribution to spread the R Language learning. Now my swirl installation is working.

dasmoocher · 2016-04-21T20:20:51Z

I'm having the same issue in the Functions tutorial:

| The last R expression to be evaluated in a function will become the return value of that function. We want this function to take one
| argument, x, and return x without modifying it. Delete the pound sign so that x is returned without any modification. Make sure to save
| your script before you type submit().

Error in editor(file = file, title = title) :
argument "name" is missing, with no default

| Leaving swirl now. Type swirl() to resume.

I tried the "testthat" package, restarting RStudio. and reinstalling swirl.
Also ran the temp fix:
install.packages("ghit")
library(ghit)
install_github("swirldev/swirl[stable]")
library(swirl)
swirl()
