Error in mutate_impl(.data, dots): Column group is of unsupported type quoted call

[boxuancui]

This is probably related to #420 . However, I tried everything on that issue, and I am still getting this failure.

To re-produce, simply run the example from ?hcaes_string:

> hchart(mtcars, "point", hcaes_string("hp", "mpg", group = "cyl"))
Error in mutate_impl(.data, dots) : 
  Column `group` is of unsupported type quoted call

Note: I have to use hcaes_string instead of hcaes.

After some investigation, I found that whenever package forecast is loaded, this can be re-produced.

Before loading forecast, everything works fine:

After loading forecast, the error comes up:

I unloaded forecast package in the same session, and it didn't change the error:

> detach("package:forecast", unload=TRUE)
> hchart(mtcars, "point", hcaes_string("hp", "mpg", group = "cyl"))
Error in mutate_impl(.data, dots) : 
  Column `group` is of unsupported type quoted call

I was also having this issue, and it seems like it was the loading of ggplot2 to blame, specifically any version greater that 2.2.0, but less than 3.0.0. If you look at the different packages that get loaded along with forecast, you'll see that ggplot2 is one of them.

I tried re-installing ggplot2 and that worked for me; install.packages("ggplot2")

However, this could potentially introduce other reverse compatibility issues, and is definitely not a long term fix. I'm still confused as to why ggplot2 would cause this higcharter bug, when highcharter doesn't import anything from ggplot2. There must be some common source between these packages that is causing the underlying issue.

EDIT:
The two packages that both ggplot2 and highcharter import are rlang and tibble. My guess would be that rlang is to blame. The most recent version of ggplot2 installs a higher version of rlang (0.2.1) than highcharter does (0.1.1).

So it looks like hcaes_string() has been deprecated, but this _does- now work with latest ggplot2 and rlang if you quote the params (the image doesn't fully load when you run it through reprex, but if you run the code live, you'll see it comes out fine):

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(tidyverse))
library(highcharter)
#> Highcharts (www.highcharts.com) is a Highsoft software product which is
#> not free for commercial and Governmental use
hchart(mtcars, "point", hcaes("hp", "mpg", group = "cyl"))
