as_flextable not working on tabular objects and R < 4.1

[RobertAdrien]

Using as_flextable on a tabular object results in the following error:

Error in FUN(newX[, i], …) : unused argument (simplify = FALSE)

See simple example from the documentation, which produces this error on my Linux setup:

if (require("tables")) {
tab <- tabular(
    (mean + mean) * (Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width) ~ 1,
    data = iris
 )
as_flextable(tab)
}

please provide sessionInfo()results as explained in the guidelines

When submitting a new issue:

• [ ] Provide 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.

Sorry, here is the result of sessionInfo()

The issue/bug is because we use apply(simplify = FALSE) and simplify = FALSE appeared in R-4.1. A quick workaround would be to use a version of R >=4.1. We will try to fix
