Possible issue with new R/Rstudio versions

[baarthur]

Hi Vincent,

I've just updated my R and Rstudio and now suddenly the width parameter isn't working anymore. Reprex comes from the tutorial vignette:

x <- mtcars[1:4, 1:5]
tt(x, width = c(.3, .1, .1, .1, .1))

Results in

Error: `width` must be numeric; its length must be 1

3.  stop(msg, call. = FALSE)
2.  assert_numeric(width, len = 1, lower = 0, upper = 1, null.ok = TRUE)
1.   tt(x, width = c(0.3, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1))

Here's my sessionInfo():

You are trying to use a development version feature.

I don't understand... It was working minutes ago

[vincentarelbundock]

install from github, restart R and try again

Ohh got it, my bad. I forgot I was using the developer version and reinstalled modelsummary from the CRAN after updating R.

btw, I don't want to start yet another thread but I am having trouble with line breaks in footnotes. I applied the same logic from the tt note argument:

set.seed(1)

df <- tibble(
  x_1 = rnorm(100, 10, 3),
  x_2 = rnorm(100, 7, 2.5),
  u = rnorm(100, 0, 0.02),
  y = 1 + 2*x_1 - 3*x_2 + u
)

lm <- list(
  lm_1 = lm(y ~ x_1, data = df),
  lm_2 = lm(y ~ x_1 + x_2, data = df)
)

modelsummary(lm, note = "{A \\\\ B}")

when the PDF renders, the footnote is ipsis litteris "{A \\ B}". I tried using escape = F but then it won't compile, as well as changing output between tinytable and latex. what am I doing wrong this time?
