问题描述 #

将R版本升级至4.4.0后，原本可正常运行的Quarto文档无法渲染，但相同代码在Rmarkdown中能正常执行。使用haven包导入SPSS的.sav格式数据，执行上述数据处理与生成描述统计表格的代码时触发上述错误。

解决方案 #

这个错误源于flextable包旧版本与R 4.4.0的兼容性问题，flextable::is_in_quarto()函数的版本号类型处理逻辑未适配R 4.4.0的numeric_version更新。

• 优先方案：升级flextable到最新版本
  在R控制台执行以下命令更新包：

  install.packages("flextable")
  

  最新版的flextable已经修复了该兼容性问题，升级后重新渲染Quarto文档即可正常运行。

• 临时修复方案（若升级仍有问题）
  如果暂时无法升级包，可以在代码开头覆盖is_in_quarto函数，规避版本号比较步骤：

  assignInNamespace(
    "is_in_quarto",
    function() {
      !is.na(Sys.getenv("QUARTO_VERSION", unset = NA))
    },
    ns = "flextable"
  )
  

  这段代码会替换flextable内部的is_in_quarto函数逻辑，直接通过环境变量判断是否在Quarto环境中。
