view function incorrectly shows objects named x

[aimeegott]

When an object exists in the global environment named x, the view function shows that object even if a data frame is passed to it

library(tibble)
x <- 10
view(mtcars)

Thanks for raising this.

@lionel-: Why would enexpr() have the side effect of throwing away the environment for x when accessing it using regular evaluation after calling it?

[lionel-]

I don't understand the question.

[krlmlr]

I was confused, sorry.

@jmcphers: I think the RStudio hook is ultimately responsible for this problem. We can work around, but would you consider rewriting to use tidy evaluation?

Yes, we should fix this on the RStudio side. The tracking bug is here:
