Cannot make beamer_presentation using pdf_book

[jooyoungseo]

I was attempting to make beamer_presentation based on bookdown::pdf_book(base_format = rmarkdown::beamer_presentation); however, it fails due to number_sections argument.

Please refer to the following reproducible code below.

Making a "slide.Rmd" for testing purpose:

---
output:
  bookdown::pdf_book:
    base_format: rmarkdown::beamer_presentation
---

# Table Test

See Table\ \@ref(tab:test-table).

```{r test-table}
knitr::kable(head(airquality), caption = "Test table.")
```

---

# Figure Test

See Figure \@ref(fig:test-figure).

```{r test-figure, fig.cap="Figure test."}
hist(airquality$Ozone, col="blue")
```

Rendering Results

rmarkdown::render('../slide.Rmd')
#> Error in base_format(toc = toc, number_sections = number_sections, fig_caption = fig_caption, : unused argument (number_sections = number_sections)
