Error: cannot convert object to a data frame

[alastor2831]

Hi. Whenever I try to call either functions I get this error:

vis_dat(airquality)
Error: cannot convert object to a data frame

vis_miss(airquality)
Error: cannot convert object to a data frame

I tried with several different data.frames but always get the same error. What's wrong?

Hi @nickeatingpizza !

Thanks for posting the issue, sorry to hear you are having this error.

I can't seem to replicate it - running those commands produces this

library(visdat)

vis_dat(airquality)

vis_miss(airquality)

Do you think you could try running reprex::reprex(visdat::vis_dat(airquality), si = TRUE)?

Hi! Thanks for the reply, I just saw it now. Here's the output of reprex:

Thanks for that!

Can you try two things,

1. install tidyverse with install.packages("tidyverse"), and then run tidyverse::tidyverse_update(), then try and run visdat.

2. update R to the latest version from CRAN (3.4.1)

Hi @nickeatingpizza !

Are you still having the same problems with visdat? I'm just closing this issue now, but if you are still having problems I'm happy to re-open it :)
