error with ggplot2

RStudio IDE
1

Hi, I had some error while running my code to create a point plot. It keeps saying " Error in grid.newpage():
could not open file '/cloud/project/.Rproj.user/shared/notebooks/8767F"

here is my code:

  • ggplot(data = activity_new, mapping = aes(x=totalsteps, y=calories) +
    geom_point()
2

First, you should change the "category" of this question: this is Posit Cloud, not the RStudio IDE.

Having the correct category may help get answers from the right people (and in this case, I think it's a problem with Posit Cloud, not ggplot2).

I would suggest trying several things to better identify the problem:

  • first, restart your session and try again, making sure you clean the environment
  • if you run plot(1), do you get the same error (this would use base R plotting instead of ggplot)
  • if you run dev.off(), then try plotting again, does it solve anything?
  • if you open a new, fresh project, and only run library(ggplot2) followed by ggplot(mtcars) + geom_point(aes(x = mpg, y = cyl)) does it work?

Also, you have a red exclamation mark on your account name in the top-right, do check that this is not related.
