simple insertText() call no longer works

[tjmahr]

The documentation for insertText() says:

To operate on the current selection in a document, call insertText() with only a text argument, e.g.

insertText("# Hello\n")
insertText(text = "# Hello\n")

For 0.9, the two # Hello comments are inserted into the document.

library(rstudioapi)
insertText("# Hello\n")
# Hello
insertText(text = "# Hello\n")
# Hello

For 0.12, each one gives an error:

library(rstudioapi)
insertText("# Hello\n")
#> Error in callFun("insertText", location, text, id) : 
#>   argument "text" is missing, with no default
insertText(text = "# Hello\n")
#> Error in callFun("insertText", location, text, id) : 
#>  argument "location" is missing, with no default

Do you see this in the latest preview release?

[kevinushey]

Scratch that, I can reproduce as well :( I'll take a look.

[kevinushey]

Should now be fixed in the development version of rstudioapi.

[tjmahr]

insertText("# Hello\n")
#> Error: 'ranges' should be a list of 4-element integer vectors

[tjmahr]

Also, insertText(text = "# Hello\n") doesn't error, returns NULL, but doesn't insert text.

[kevinushey]

Both of those calls work for me with RStudio 1.4.1013 (the current preview release).

[tjmahr]

Okay, both calls work for me on the new preview version with rstudioapi 0.9 (last working CRAN version) and rstudioapi 0.12.0-9000 (current repo). And it looks like my WrapRmd add-in that uses insertText() works now.
