Unable to send files to slack from R using slackrUpload

I am trying to use slackr package to push messages and files from R to slack.

I am able to send messages successfully using slackr, but have been unable to get the function slackrUpload working. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I first set up an incoming webhook in slack. I was then able to get the below working (this sends "Test message" to the channel "solutions":

> library(slackr)

> slackrSetup(channel = "#solutions",
              icon_emoji = ":information_source:",
              incoming_webhook_url ="https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../I...",
              api_token = "...-...-...")

> slackr("Test message")

...but when I try to use slackrUpload the function errors:

> html_file <- "url_path/checks.html"

> slackrUpload(filename = html_file)

Error returned:

Error in data.frame(id = x$id, name = x$name, real_name = x$real_name) : 
  arguments imply differing number of rows: 1, 0

(I have tested that the path to the html is correct)

It seems to be a common issue with old versions of slackr. Upgrading to at least 1.2.3 should fix the problem.
