R Markdown cannot get RStudio Version - error message in knit

Question

I am executing the following line in my R Markdown code chunk:

RStudio.Version()$version

When I run the knit on the R Markdown to create a Word document, I am getting the following error message:

Error in RStudio.Version(): could not find function "RStudio.Version"

When I run this function RStudio.Version() in RStudio console, I am getting the version and the function runs, but not with knitting when I run R Markdown.

Does anyone have any solution to this?

Answer 1

I was able to execute your code that is RStudio.Version() while knitting in R programming. As rstudioapi:: versionInfo() seems the best alternative while knitting.
