Hi,

I am trying to look up the known synonyms for a list of species. In the past, I have used taxize::synonyms with great success. However, now when I run the following code, I get an error about a tibble not being able to be made because a parameter is needed as of tibble 3.0.0.

Here is the code I am trying to run:

synonyms(sci_id = 'Ameiva atrigularis', db = 'itis')

And this is the output I get with the traceback

══ 1 queries ═══════════════

Retrieving data for taxon 'Ameiva atrigularis'

Error:
! The x argument of as_tibble() can't be missing as of tibble 3.0.0.
Run rlang::last_trace() to see where the error occurred.

Run rlang::last_trace(drop = FALSE) to see 1 hidden frame.

I tried to run it again after reinstalling taxize through remotes::install_github("ropensci/taxize") and it still returned the same error. The interesting this is that I ran this code in September without issue.

[zachary-foster]

Thanks! I am unable to reproduce this error. Can you add a sessionInfo() output?

Hi, Thanks for the reply!

The session info is in the original post. I also pasted it below.

One thing I noticed from your session info is that we are using the same tibble package version so I am at a complete loss for why this error is occurring for me. I will try on a new machine tonight and let you know if I have better luck.

Oh, sorry, I did not see it at first. That is odd. Another person with a similar error also had the same tibble version, so there is something going on. I tried both the Github and CRAN version and did not get an error with either.
