dplyr 0.5.0 - distinct_ requires .dots argument

[Ross Gayler]

Hi all,

I have some code that broke when I updated to dplyr 0.5.0:

d %<>%
  dplyr::select_(~ id) %>%
  dplyr::distinct_()
> d %<>%
+   dplyr::select_(~ id) %>%
+   dplyr::distinct_()
Error in as.lazy_dots(.dots) :
  argument ".dots" is missing, with no default

The following code works:

d %>%
  dplyr::select_(~ id) %>%
  dplyr::distinct_(.dots = NULL)

Is this an intentional change or an unintended consequence of other changes to distinct?

Thanks

Ross

I just noticed that the error only occurs with grouped input. I have raised an issue https://github.com/hadley/dplyr/issues/1981
