new tidyverse/tibble doesn't play nice with tidycensus

[dcaud]

I'd give you a reprex, but then I'd be wasting even more of my time. I just wasted an hour troubleshooting a non-sensical error message. Downgrading with install_version("tibble", version = "2.1.3", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org") solved the problem.

My beef here isn't about this specific issue (I've already figured out a workaround). The "bug" here is just a general lack of ability to get stuff done in the wild west of R.

Can y'all coordinate a bit more?!

Commented on the tidycensus side, but this is not an issue with the latest CRAN version of tidycensus:

> library(tidycensus)
> packageVersion("tibble")
[1] ‘3.0.0’
> packageVersion("tidycensus")
[1] ‘0.9.9.2’
> 
> get_acs(geography = "state",
+         variables = "B01002_001")
