question about moveVis package

I'm wrking with animals movements. So, I'm trying to run the demo of moveVis package (in movevis.org get-started .

library(moveVis)
library(move)

data("move_data", package = "moveVis") # move class object
# if your tracks are present as data.frames, see df2move() for conversion

# align move_data to a uniform time scale
m <- align_move(move_data, res = 240, digit = 0, unit = "secs")

# create spatial frames with a OpenStreetMap watercolour map
frames <- frames_spatial(m, path_colours = c("red", "green", "blue"),
                         map_service = "osm", map_type = "watercolor", alpha = 0.5) %>% 
  add_labels(x = "Longitude", y = "Latitude") %>% # add some customizations, such as axis labels
  add_northarrow() %>% 
  add_scalebar() %>% 
  add_timestamps(m, type = "label") %>% 
  add_progress()

The function frames_spatial start fine with the following messages:

Checking temporal alignment...
Processing movement data...
Approximated animation duration: ≈ 7.52s at 25 fps for 188 frames
Retrieving and compositing basemap imagery...

But than it failed with the error:
Error in match.arg(progress.bar, c("txt", "win", "tk", "none")) :
'arg' should be one of “txt”, “win”, “tk”, “none”

since this is the demo - I assume the code is fine. but I don't know what is missing in my working environmnt that cause this problem

Will appriciate you good advices
Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to the RStudio community!

To be able to help you out, it's best you provide us with a reprex.
A reprex consists of the minimal code and data needed to recreate the issue/question you're having. You can find instructions how to build and share one here:

Good luck,

Thanks :+1:
I update my post with the code sample

Hey, I ran into the same problem and finally found a solution, hopefully it will solve your issues as well. I traced the error message to a call to pboptions() which appears to come from the package pbapply. It looks like moveVis imports pbapply but just for the heck of it I tried installing pbapply and loading it myself. Low and behold it works now.
