Error in G * t(hat) : non-conformable arrays

The length of the test_groups vector is 4 while the number of rows of subset is 5.
Below I set to 5 the number of rows of subset and the adonis command works nicely.

library(vegan) 
subset <- matrix(c(0,0.000666667,0.001333333,0.000333333,0.000333333,0.019833333,0.007666667,0.014666667,0.0005,0.022833333,0.016833333,0.018166667,0.000666667,0.009666667,0.008833333,0.009166667,0.001333333,0.018666667,0.0295,0.031833333),ncol=5)
test_groups <- c(1,1,2,2)     
adonis(subset~test_groups)

Here is the result.

'nperm' >= set of all permutations: complete enumeration.
Set of permutations < 'minperm'. Generating entire set.

Call:
adonis(formula = subset ~ test_groups) 

Permutation: free
Number of permutations: 23
