Hi all, as 10/08 I've installed the github version or reprex but getting the same error:

@danr

devtools::install_github("tidyverse/reprex")

I've even installed xclip with:

 sudo apt-get install xclip

reprex::reprex()
No input provided and clipboard is not available.
Error in reprex_(r_file) : 
Cannot render this code.
Error in options(tidyverse.quiet = ) :

reprex::reprex() No input provided and clipboard is not available.

If you're running reprex::reprex() as such, then you haven't provided any input! You either need to pass in an infile and an outfile:

reprex::reprex(input = "fruits_stringdist.R", outfile = "fruits_stringdist.md")

or render a reprex based on selection (see below)
