Error message when vars are piped into ctable

[BobMuenchen]

summarytools is great! I've taught it in my R Markdown workshop for several years. This time, I switched to piping the variables in. It mostly works, but also generates an error message. Given the popularity of the tidyverse, it would be helpful if ctable accepted piped variables without the error message.

> library("tidyverse")
> 
> tobacco %>%
+ select(gender, smoker) %>%
+ ctable(prop = "r",
+        chisq = TRUE,
+        method = "render")
Error : Can't find NULL
Cross-Tabulation, Row Proportions  
structure(2L, levels = c("F", "M", "Yes", "No"), class = "factor") * structure(1L, levels = c("F", "M", "Yes", "No"), class = "factor")  
Data Frame: tobacco

Thanks for reporting this... It will require some work... the parse_args internal function will need to be modified in order to recognize this type of call.

As always, since I have limited time to dedicate to the package, help is always welcome.
