ggsave error with type="cairo" or type="cairo-png"

[martin-a-wade]

ggsave produces an error when including type="cairo" or type="cairo-png", which worked in ggplot2 <=3.3.3.
(R4.0.3, Windows 10)

library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(mpg, aes(cty, hwy)) + geom_point()
ggsave("test.png", type = "cairo")
# also error for:
# ggsave("test.png", type = "cairo-png")

Error in png_dev(..., res = dpi, units = "in") :
unused argument (type = "cairo")

I am having the same problem. Pretty much all of my scripts have cairo inside ggsave and now return errors

Should already be fixed. Please reinstall ggplot2 from CRAN and try again.

No, this has not been fixed as it really isn't a bug (I do understand the inconvenience)

[clauswilke]

I thought you turned the error into a warning? Am I confused?

Oh yeah, sorry. Confused myself

[clauswilke]

@martin-a-wade and @tungmilan Could you update your ggplot to 3.3.5 and let us know whether your scripts now work (except a warning that is issued)?

[martin-a-wade]

Thanks, the update works for me.

[tungttnguyen]

Confirmed! Thank you guys!
