R Markdown doesn't plot leaflet map in Word document

I'm working on a Word document with a leaflet maps. In RStudio the leaflet maps works good, but when I Knit my Word document with Rmarkdown, no map appears in Word. I recently change my computer and reinstall Rstudio, before that the leaflet maps works fine with Word.

The code below is the code in RMarkdown document.

leaflet::leaflet() %>% addTiles()

I rebooted my PC, and reinstalled leaflet package.

Solution

Did you try to set caching to false? See discussion here.

```{r}
#| label: fig-geolocation
#| fig-cap: Geolocation of participants
#| cache: no
#| echo: false
leaflet::leaflet() |> leaflet::addTiles()
```

Also, there is an old trick as well: save map as widget and then import it as image file.

```{r}
#| label: fig-geolocation
#| fig-cap: Geolocation of participants
#| echo: false
map <- leaflet::leaflet() |> 
       leaflet::addTiles()
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(widget = map, 
                        file = "temp.html", 
                        selfcontained = FALSE)
webshot::webshot(url = "temp.html", 
                 file = "map.png", 
                 cliprect = "viewport")  # cliprect = c(200, 5, 400, 300))
```

EDIT:
According to Yihui Xie, "if you include an HTML widget in a non-HTML output format, such as a PDF, knitr will try to embed a screenshot of the widget if you have installed the R package webshot (Chang 2023)...". Also valid for Word (non-HTML output format).
