Description
view()
has some sort of negative interaction with the new native pipe when the incoming expression is somewhat complicated and the title isn't explicitly specified. In the error case, the message is Error in View : invalid caption argument
.
Poking around in the debugger, it seems like the problem is with expr_deparse()
and the fact that the native pipe (unlike the magrittr pipe) is just syntactic sugar for nesting function calls. When the expression being piped into view()
is long, expr_deparse()
breaks it into multiple lines (I guess because it's intended for printing?), but then View()
doesn't know what to do with a multi-line title. Using capital-V View()
, the default title appears to be the whole incoming expression.
