View():ing an emptly tibble originating from vroom crashes Rstudio server session

[OssiLehtinen]

I'm running R-workloads on the open source rstudio-server with vroom and have encountered an issue with empty tibbles.

I'm not sure if this is an rstudio-issue, or a vroom issue, but seems to be pretty specific to vroom, so posting here.

The following code crashes the rserver-session every time:

aa <- data.frame(b = 1:3, c=letters[1:3])
write.csv(aa, "small_data.csv")
tt <- vroom::vroom("small_data.csv")
tt # Contents printed out nicely
View(tt) # Contents displayed ok

ttt <- tt[FALSE,]
ttt # Empty tibble printed out ok
View(ttt) # R crashes

This happens also if I use dplyr's filter to produce the empty tibble, but the above example aims to have minimal other dependencies.

My R-version is 3.6.2
rstudio-server is 1.2.5033 running on debian 10
vroom is at 1.2.1 (1.2.0 has the same issue)

Note: an empty data.frame is displayed ok with View as is an empty tibble not produced by Vroom:

aa <- data.frame(b = 1:3, c=letters[1:3])
aaa <- aa[FALSE, ]
View(aaa) # this works

aa <- tibble::tibble(b = 1:3, c=letters[1:3])
aaa <- aa[FALSE, ]
View(aaa) # this also works

p.s. rstudio on a windows desktop does not crash. (rstudio desktop 1.2.5019, R 3.5.3, vroom 1.2.0)
