loads tidyverse

[carbonmetrics]

After loading viridis my namespace gets swamped with tidyverse packages:

> library(viridis)
Loading required package: viridisLite

other attached packages:

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
 [1] Rcpp_1.0.2       assertthat_0.2.1 dplyr_0.8.3     
 [4] crayon_1.3.4     R6_2.4.0         grid_3.6.1

[19] compiler_3.6.1   pkgconfig_2.0.2  colorspace_1.4-1

Which creates bugs. Suddenly my variable vars creates an error because it is already claimed by dplyr:

> varlist=foreach(i=1:length(vars), .combine=rbind) %do% {
+   paste(unlist(vars[[i]]),collapse=", ")
+ } %>% as.data.table
Error in { : 
  task 1 failed - "object of type 'closure' is not subsettable"
> vars
function (...) 
{
    quos(...)
}
<bytecode: 0x562df220b678>
<environment: namespace:dplyr>

I do not use dplyr, purrr and tidyverse whatnot for exactly this reason. Why is viridis importing this? Is there a way around?

@carbonmetrics This is normal. viridis provides functions for ggplot2. If you just want to use the color palette, you should install viridisLite instead.

Thanks. I have found a good alternative in colorspace. It contains the viridis palettes, but does not mess around with my namespace.
