[pssguy]

As per book

Trying to use addins gettng similar errors with both 'Update metadata' and 'New post'

e.g

On pressing done button

> blogdown:::update_meta_addin()

Please always include devtools::session_info('blogdown') when reporting an issue.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Could provide a reproducible example? Before you install blogdown, did you restart your R session? It is good practice to always restart your R session before you install packages.

[pssguy]

Not sure how you do a reproducible example of pressing a button?

I create a new project then

[yihui]

What is your output of yaml::as.yaml?

[pssguy]

function (x, line.sep = c("\n", "\r\n", "\r"), indent = 2, omap = FALSE, 
    column.major = TRUE, unicode = TRUE, precision = getOption("digits"), 
    indent.mapping.sequence = FALSE) 
{
    line.sep <- match.arg(line.sep)
    .Call("as.yaml", x, line.sep, indent, omap, column.major, 
        unicode, precision, indent.mapping.sequence, PACKAGE = "yaml")
}
<environment: namespace:yaml>

[yihui]

That is really weird. Could you restart your R session, install.packages('yaml') and devtools::install_github('rstudio/blogdown')?

[pssguy]

That seems to have done trick. Can create and select categories in update_meta_addin() and create new posts. Entering new category within post means it is then available for selection in pop-up addin next time Is there anything I can send to you to help explain it?

[yihui]

My best guess is there was some trouble with installing yaml last time (libs/yaml.dll might be locked). As I said in my second reply, you'd better restart your R session every time before you install any packages (especially on Windows).

[pssguy]

I usually do but, must admit, not always. Having a reminder on RStudio IDE Install Packages popup would be helpful Thanks again
