RStudio blogdown generates error after using new_site()

After successfully loading blogdown and installing Hugo, I have trouble creating a new site with new_site(dir = 'test') in an empty 'test' folder. First, I get the following positive message:

Congratulations! Your new Hugo site is created in C:....\Dropbox\test.

Just a few more steps and you're ready to go:

  1. Download a theme into the same-named folder. or create your own with the "hugo new theme " command.
  2. Perhaps you want to add some content. You can add single files with "hugo new \.".
  3. Start the built-in live server via "hugo server".

trying URL 'https://github.com/yihui/hugo-lithium-theme/archive/master.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 119666 bytes (116 KB) downloaded 116 KB

Now comes the error msg.

Error in list.files(dir) : invalid 'path' argument

The current R session info gives this:

R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows >= 8 x64 (build 9200)

locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=German_Germany.1252 LC_CTYPE=German_Germany.1252 LC_MONETARY=German_Germany.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=German_Germany.1252

attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base

other attached packages: [1] blogdown_0.0.35

loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] bookdown_0.3.19 tools_3.3.2 rstudioapi_0.6 knitr_1.15.20

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

This should be a temporary bug that existed for a couple of hours. Please reinstall blogdown from Github:

devtools::install_github('rstudio/blogdown')
