Error in get(name, envir = asNamespace(pkg), inherits = FALSE) : object 'char_to_b64' not found

[planetscape]

Hello. Just beginning working with rtweet and tweetbotornot.

Attempting to follow the synopsis code:

> library(tweetbotornot)
> users <- c("realdonaldtrump", "netflix_bot",
+            "kearneymw", "dataandme", "hadleywickham",
+            "ma_salmon", "juliasilge", "tidyversetweets", 
+            "American__Voter", "mothgenerator", "hrbrmstr")
> users
 [1] "realdonaldtrump" "netflix_bot"     "kearneymw"      
 [4] "dataandme"       "hadleywickham"   "ma_salmon"      
 [7] "juliasilge"      "tidyversetweets" "American__Voter"
[10] "mothgenerator"   "hrbrmstr"       
> data <- botornot(users)
Error in get(name, envir = asNamespace(pkg), inherits = FALSE) : 
  object 'char_to_b64' not found
> 

Gives me an error.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

As a temp work-around, anyway, this works:

It also worked for me

Anyone with a better solution? Are you trying to install an older version to get the function working?

Yes, that is what I did above, in my Aug 13 comment.

Sorry, yall. I've been slowly overhauling tweetbotornot with the help of top improvements to rtweet and textfeatures.

This particular error is due to changes in {{tweetbotornot}} and {{textfeatures}}, but I'd recommend installing newest versions of each:

## install remotes pkg if not already
if (!requireNamespace("remotes")) {
  install.packages("remotes")
}

## install rtweet
remotes::install_github("mkearney/rtweet")

## install textfeatures
remotes::install_github("mkearney/textfeatures")

## install tweetbotornot
remotes::install_github("mkearney/tweetbotornot")
