Error in train_word2vec: "Error in if (binary) { : argument is of length zero"

[emarkianos]

I'm trying to train a model, and ran this in R using a plain text file* that I'd prepared using prep_word2vec:
girl.model <- train_word2vec("girls.txt", output_file = "~/MOC_Project/Data/girl_vectors", vectors = 300, threads = 2, window = 12, classes = 0, min_count = 5, iter = 5, force = TRUE, negative_samples = 5)
I got these messages, which seemed OK:

Starting training using file /Users/ella/Desktop/Capstone/CSStuff/MOC_Project/Scripts/girls.txt
Vocab size: 18998
Words in train file: 1006509

And then, after about a minute, I got this error:

Error in if (binary) { : argument is of length zero

I have no idea what caused this, but it seems like I can't train the model.

*Of a bunch of old social media profiles, which probably isn't relevant

I have the same problem. I get the same error message.
