Convert data to geojson error

I am trying to use the geojsonio package to write some geojson files from data.frames pulled from some other R packages.

library(ggplot2)
library(geojsonio)
us_state <- map_data('state')

geojson_write(us_state, 
              geometry="polygon", 
              grouping="group", 
              file="path/file.geojson")

The problem I'm having is with the geometry=polygon argument. I get the following error:

Error in .subset2(x, i, exact = exact) : 
  attempt to select less than one element in integerOneIndex

When geometry=point it works fine, but then of course I have just a million separate points instead of state polygons in the geojson file.

Any thoughts?

Edit:

I can get a working geojson file if I use file<-geojson_json(data.frame) first, then geojson_write(file)

You just need to use the right parameter name group, not grouping. Since the function has a ..., a wrong parameter name can be passed in and not throw any errors/etc. 

library(ggplot2)
library(geojsonio)
us_state <- map_data('state')
geojson_write(us_state, 
          geometry = "polygon", 
          group = "group", 
          file = "file.geojson")
