While doing NLP in R I am getting following error - no applicable method for meta applied to an object of class character when I run dtm - DocumentTermMatrix corpus command

Question

My previous code has been as below -

corpus <- VCorpus(VectorSource(final_data$comment))
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, content_transformer(tolower))
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, removeNumbers)
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, removePunctuation)
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, removeWords, stopwords())
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, stemDocument)
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, removeWords, 'brw')
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, removeWords, 'cid')
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, stripWhitespace)
corpus <- tm_map(corpus, trimws)
dtm <- DocumentTermMatrix(corpus)

I am getting following error on last command -

'no applicable method for 'meta' applied to an object of class "character"'

Can you please let me know how to fix it ?
