Bind_draws error with cmdstanr

Interfaces

Hi!

I’ve installed cmdstanr, using the instructions here https://mc-stan.org/cmdstanr/articles/cmdstanr.html, and re-installed posterior, via

remotes::install_github("jgabry/posterior")

to make sure it was up to date. The version on my machine still say 0.0.1.

When I run the bernoulli example, I get the following ouput

Chain 2 finished in 0.1 seconds.

Both chains finished succesfully.

Total execution time: 0.2 seconds.
Error: 'bind_draws' is not an exported object from 'namespace:posterior'

with emphasize on

Error: 'bind_draws' is not an exported object from 'namespace:posterior'

The fit object is not created.

If I run

? bind_draws

I do get a help window from the posterior package. However, there is no autocomplete when trying to type

posterior:bind_draws

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Uninstalled posterior and cmdstanr, and reinstalled both with

devtools::install_github("stan-dev/cmdstanr")

and got the example to work.

I’m guessing my version of posterior was outdated. I do recommend changing the version number.

p.s: excited to start using cmdstanr, it looks great!
