Piping functions specified with :: throws error

[richierocks]

To reproduce:

data.frame(x = 1:10) %>% ncol
## [1] 1
data.frame(x = 1:10) %>% base::ncol
## Error in .::base : unused argument (ncol)

This has been fixed in the github version, no?

I came here to file the same bug, and I can confirm that it seems fixed in the current github version. I tried the original example as well as the one that tripped me up personally:

library(psych)
library(magrittr)
psych::describe(rnorm(100))
rnorm(100) %>% psych::describe

It is unfortunate that the github and CRAN have the same version number (1.5); since they are clearly different. To fix this issue you must install from github,:

devtools::install_github("tidyverse/magrittr")

Thanks for the help here. Installing from GitHub resolves the issue. This is still a problem in the CRAN version of magrittr in January 2018.

Seems this issue is tricking more than one person, see the issue on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54992188/r-using-pipe-and-pkgfo-leads-to-error-error-in-base-unused-argument/54992189?noredirect=1#comment96742243_54992189

Not sure if anyone would be peeking here after all this time but I am curious, what just happened here? For the longest time the fix was exclusive to github, it appears to have since been removed from here too
