[R] Ranger could not work with caret

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Please post data in dput format, without it it's difficult to tell.
If I substitute

mpg for act_effort
mtcars for tr

keeping everything else, I don't get any errors.
And the error message says clearly that the error is in tr (data).

Can you post the output of dput(head(tr, 30))?
