How to use --citeproc instead of pandoc-citeproc in RStudio when bibliography is used in an RMarkdown document?

Question

I get the following error when trying to render a RMarkdown document in RStudio with bibliography specified in the YAML as bibliography: references.bib:

[WARNING] Deprecated: pandoc-citeproc filter. Use --citeproc instead.
Error running filter pandoc-citeproc:
Could not find executable pandoc-citeproc
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 83

> rmarkdown::pandoc_version()
[1] ‘2.11.0.4’

I cannot find the way to use --citeproc instead of pandoc-citeproc. Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

It seems to be fixed when upgrading the rmarkdown package to version 2.5:
