If step can't be 'View'ed, it is skipped

[apsteinmetz]

In this case, using rvest::html_node() I get Error in View : cannot coerce class xml_node to a data.frame

This is a weakness of View and is an 'polite' failure as it does not prevent data.frame tabs from being created for the following nodes.

Perhaps there is a way to use print() to create something that View can handle, although html_node() %>% print() %>% View() doesn't work.

suppressPackageStartupMessages({
  library(dplyr)
  library(stringr)
  library(rvest) 
})
