Error in doc_namespaces(doc) : external pointer is not valid

[Andrzej-Andrzej]

Hi, I receive this message whenever I work with flextable. Is it a way to explain or solve it ?

Hey

Could you provide the following elements?

• [ ] The code that is producing the error, it has to be a minimal reproducible example. Stackoverflow is providing good explanations about it: https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve. You can use package reprex to help you: http://reprex.tidyverse.org/. The most popular R stackoverflow question is about the subject: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example.

• [ ] the results of R command sessionInfo(). It had to be executed after you loaded the packages used by your example. This will let me know what is your version of R and what are the versions of the packages you used in your example.

Hi, code: print( flextable( d ), "docx" ) where d is my data.frame. 3 variables and 657 obs.

sessionInfo() R version 3.6.0 (2019-04-26) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 10 x64

Attached packages: tidyverse + flextable + baseR: datasets utils graphics grDevices stats methods base

I really need the elements requested upper. For example, I don't know what version of packages you are using. Also you can provide a sample of your data with dput(head(d)) and copy paste the result.

You will find below an example:

library(flextable)
d <- head(iris)
dput(d)
#> structure(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, 5.4), 
#>     Sepal.Width = c(3.5, 3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.6, 3.9), Petal.Length = c(1.4, 
#>     1.4, 1.3, 1.5, 1.4, 1.7), Petal.Width = c(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 
#>     0.2, 0.2, 0.4), Species = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 
#>     1L), .Label = c("setosa", "versicolor", "virginica"), class = "factor")), row.names = c(NA, 
#> 6L), class = "data.frame")

print( flextable( head(iris) ), "docx" )
#> a flextable object.
#> col_keys: `Sepal.Length`, `Sepal.Width`, `Petal.Length`, `Petal.Width`, `Species` 
#> header has 1 row(s) 
#> body has 6 row(s) 
#> original dataset sample: 
#>   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
#> 1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
#> 2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
#> 3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
#> 4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
#> 5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
