Error in UseMethod("rescale") prevents ggplot from creating object

[thomashauner]

I am having trouble graphing with ggplot2 after updating RStudio to version 1.1.383 from 0.98.053. Previously I used ggplot2 exhaustively without problems.

Each time I receive the following error:

Error in UseMethod("rescale") :
no applicable method for 'rescale' applied to an object of class "c('double', 'numeric')"

This error is produced even with the most simplified example, and even when forcing the scales library to load first. The most recent version of ggplot2 has been installed from CRAN.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

library(scales)
library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame(x = rnorm(10), y = rnorm(10))
ggplot(df, aes(x = x, y =y)) + geom_point()

Hmm, I'm not able to reproduce your error. Could you please make a reprex with the std_out_err argument set to TRUE?

If you've never heard of a reprex before, you might want to start by reading the tidyverse.org help page

You might also consider moving this question over to community.rstudio.com or stackoverflow, until we can determine that it's actually a bug. There are many more eyes over there, and the community can help you figure out if it's an issue that needs to be resolved by the maintainers.

library(scales)
library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame(x = rnorm(10), y = rnorm(10))
ggplot(df, aes(x = x, y =y)) + geom_point()

Created on 2018-01-10 by the reprex package (v0.1.1.9000).

Thanks,

Chances are you've ended up with a borked package install. I'd recommend reinstalling ggplot2.

Thanks for the suggestions. Still no luck. The ggplot error in UseMethod("rescale") remains.

I'm also getting a curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) error when I attempt to render as a reprex (either using the add-in, or using the reprex() wrapper).

I've reinstalled all the packages (ggplot2, reprex, curl, httr) after restarting the machine and R session to no effect.

I've also tried the following (based on the discussion here: swirldev/swirl#475) which did not resolve the curl error:

library(bitops)
library(RCurl)
library(httr)
set_config( config( ssl_verifypeer = 0L ) )

Here's what my curl version indicates (for which reprex() does work):

curl::curl_version() 
#> $version
#> [1] "7.56.1"
#> 
#> $ssl_version
#> [1] "(OpenSSL/1.1.0f) WinSSL"
#> 
#> $libz_version
#> [1] "1.2.8"
#> 
#> $libssh_version
#> [1] "libssh2/1.8.0"
#> 
#> $libidn_version
#> [1] NA
#>

#>

#> [15] "scp"    "sftp"   "smtp"   "smtps"  "telnet" "tftp"  
#> 
#> $ipv6
#> [1] TRUE
#> 
#> $http2
#> [1] FALSE
#> 
#> $idn
#> [1] TRUE

Again, all this began with updating Rstudio to the latest version. Is it advisable to revert to an older version of Rstudio? I am still using R version 3.3.2.

UPDATE: I needed to use a particular options(repos=structure()) to install packages from, which I had not done since updating my Rstudio. This seems to have been the source of the "borked" packages I had installed.
