rCharts dTable Error

Question

Hi I'm new to rCharts and could definitely use some help. I'm getting the error below when I try to run the following.

Code:

dTable(airquality, sPaginationType = "full_numbers")

Error:

Error in as.character(tools:::httpdPort) : 
  cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type 'character'

Also when I try ?dTable I get the message:

No documentation for ‘dTable’ in specified packages and libraries:
you could try ‘??dTable’

I installed rCharts and devtools using:

install.packages("devtools")

and

install.packages("base64enc")
devtools::install_github("ramnathv/rCharts")

then I called both libraries using library(devtools) and library(rCharts).

Any tips greatly appreciated.

dTable(...) does not exist in rCharts. But you got a great hint in the error it threw out. — miles2know, May 09 '15 at 02:23
@miles2know yes it does. We can check the namespace and see that it exists. rCharts::dTable . OP is getting this error because there is no documentation associated with the dTable function — Steve Bronder, Jul 07 '15 at 18:27

I created a fig directory under my current working directory, ran the following code and it created an html file with the sortable table in the fig directory:

#install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("base64enc")
require(base64enc)
library(devtools)
require(rCharts)
data("airquality")
table1 <- dTable(airquality, sPaginationType = "full_numbers")
table1$save('./fig/table1.html', standalone=TRUE)
