spread crashing for a data_frame with 2 columns (but not for a data.frame)

[joshualande]

I am on the latest version of everything using RStudio: "Check for Updates -> All packages are up to date."

Spread works when using a data.frame:

> df <- data.frame(x = c("a", "b"), y = c(3, 4))
> df
  x y
1 a 3
2 b 4
> df %>% spread(x, y) 
   a  b
1  3 NA
2 NA  4

But with a data_frame, the same commands error out:

> df <- data_frame(x = c("a", "b"), y = c(3, 4))
> 
> 
> df
Source: local data frame [2 x 2]
  x y
1 a 3
2 b 4
> df %>% spread(x, y) 
Error in .subset2(x, i, exact = exact) : subscript out of bounds

Does that make sense?

Thanks!

Should be fixed in dev version of dplyr

Awesome, thanks so much!
