new_site in blogdown causes error in editor

I've been trying to set up new_site with blogdown and hugo using the quick example from blogdown: Creating Websites with R Markdown; however, after calling new_site() command in a new empty project created via RStudio I have got the following error. I am not really sure what the error call is based upon so any help solving this is much appreciated. 

> new_site()
Congratulations! Your new Hugo site is created in C:\Users\XYZ\Downloads\Test2\Site.

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

1. Download a theme into the same-named folder.
   Choose a theme from https://themes.gohugo.io/, or
   create your own with the "hugo new theme <THEMENAME>" command.
2. Perhaps you want to add some content. You can add single files
   with "hugo new <SECTIONNAME>\<FILENAME>.<FORMAT>".
3. Start the built-in live server via "hugo server".

Visit https://gohugo.io/ for quickstart guide and full documentation.

Error in editor(file = file, title = title) : 
  argument "name" is missing, with no default

The quick example page states that the new site should appear in RStudio viewer. That doesn't happen (assume due to the error). However, after calling serve site, the page does appear in viewer.

The error is also triggered when creating new post through new_post():

> new_post("MyTest")
C:\Users\XYZ\Downloads\Test2\Site\content\post\2017-09-25-mytest.md created
Error in editor(file = file, title = title) : 
  argument "name" is missing, with no default

Although new post appears in content/post folder.

Thank you for any suggestions how to solve it.

The issue was solved by updating to latest version of RStudio's addins. This is triggered automatically from RStudio when you try to create "new_post" through "Tools > Addins > New Post". The RStudio will automatically update, install and load required packages.

In this case:

install.packages("miniUI")
install.packages("rstudioapi")
