I'm trying to use the flextable
library to make tables in RMarkdown (on an RStudio server). I'm getting a strange error message and can't make any progress on figuring out what I'm doing wrong. I'm getting this error message: Error in UUIDgenerate(n = nrow(uid), use.time = TRUE) :
unused argument (n = nrow(uid)).
NOTE: The error occurs when I tried to run the code within the RMarkdown document to the console. The code below (and error output) occurred in an R Script.
This code below produces the error:
library(flextable)
ft <- flextable(head(mtcars))
ft
Error in UUIDgenerate(n = nrow(uid), use.time = TRUE) :
unused argument (n = nrow(uid))
head_ft <- flextable(as.data.frame(mtcars))
head_ft
Error in UUIDgenerate(n = nrow(uid), use.time = TRUE) :
unused argument (n = nrow(uid))

You need to update the package
uuid
. This issue is solved in the latest releases of flextable, so updatingflextable
should also updateuuid
automatically
