Error in `date_validate()`: [dplyr library - This is an internal error in the rlang package, please report it to the package authors.]

[sasthavignesh]

I came across this error when using dplyr library "distinct(across(everything()))", but the error message pointed to rlang. Please find a reprex below.

Distinct function was working on the existing code for a while, for last couple of days getting the same error

listHC$FACTS <- listHC$FACTS %>% distinct(across(everything())) Error in date_validate(): ! Corrupt Date with unknown type character. i In file type-date-time.c at line 345. i This is an internal error in the rlang package, please report it to the package authors. Backtrace: x

I'm seeing

! Corrupt Date with unknown type character.

It is likely that you have some kind of corrupt column in your data frame.

Can you please post a full reprex? http://tidyverse.org/help/

[DavisVaughan]

I can only reproduce this with significant effort, so I think it is an error with your data generating process somehow, and not an error with rlang, vctrs, or dplyr.

df <- data.frame(x = .Date("a"))
dplyr::distinct(df, x)
#> Error in `date_validate()`:
#> ! Corrupt `Date` with unknown type character.
#> ℹ In file 'type-date-time.c' at line 345.
#> ℹ This is an internal error in the vctrs package, please report it to the package authors.
