r - twitteR Error when authorizing token -

i trying register oauth token , running error doesn't seem explained anywhere can find.

require("roauth") require("twitter")  requesturl <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token" accessurl <- "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token" authurl <- "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize" 

here plug in consumer key , consumer secret obtained properly.

consumer_key <- "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" consumer_secret <- "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" 

this first attempt:

twitcred <- oauthfactory$new(consumerkey = consumer_key, consumersecret = consumer_secret, requesturl = requesturl,                               accessurl = accessurl, authurl = authurl) 

but following error:

error in get(name, envir = asnamespace(pkg), inherits = false) :    object '.setdummyfield' not found 

other posts suggested use following:

gettwitteroauth(consumer_key, consumer_secret) 

but same error. can't seem find error reproduced anywhere else making me suspect has nothing twitter or roauth packages. i'm new these advice on how fix error appreciated.

i had same problem. following sequence of commands solved problem:

consumerkey <- ... consumersecret <- ... twitcred <- gettwitteroauth(consumer_key= consumerkey, consumer_secret=consumersecret) searchtwitter() 

notice didn't use registertwitteroauth(twitcred). think if wanna save , later load twitcred have use registertwitteroauth(twitcred) after loading.

i hope helps.
