json.column error after upgrading to dplyr 0.7.0

[MarkEdmondson1234]

Hi there, I use tidyjson in the googleAnalyticsR package, and this week people have reported an error in a function that uses tidyjson. It turns out that those people who are using dplyr version 0.7.0 get the error:

For now a fix is to downgrade dplyr via devtools::install_version("dplyr", version = "0.5.0") but that is obviously not permanent :)

I will look through to be sure the issue you are seeing is the one we anticipated. Please see issue here. We are looking to test and release a fix to CRAN as soon as possible.

The problem we have seen is with the dplyr verbs, as they are no longer calling the NSE versions behind the scenes. Although a less than ideal workaround, using mutate_, for instance, should solve your issues, as those are properly wrapped by the legacy version of tidyjson.

Also, as a random aside - I like to use packrat to protect my work from version issues. I always feel a necessity to plug when version issues arise, because they can be a bit of a nightmare.

I'm having the same issue. I've downgraded to dplyr 0.5.0, but am still getting this error. Any other advice or updates on this?

@gaiusjaugustus Any clarification on what your pipeline looks like? Can you provide a reprex? This issue is not uncommon since dplyr 0.7.0 came out, and unfortunately has many causes.

Also, this repo is deader than jeremystan/tidyjson (which is having troubles of its own). Probably best to continue discussion here.
