Unknown or uninitialised column: `replace`

[jhollway]

When calling linkEvents.network.goldfish() with incremented change events, the following warning message appears:

Warning message:
Unknown or uninitialised column: `replace`. 

Could be that this emerges from checkEvents.network.goldfish() when it searches for one or the other.

Since the function otherwise works, this warning should be avoided or suppressed.

Could you post a repex?

Social_Evolution example had incremented change events and the warning doesn't appear.

data("Social_Evolution")
callNetwork <- defineNetwork(nodes = actors, directed = TRUE)
callNetwork <- linkEvents(x = callNetwork, changeEvent = calls,
                          nodes = actors)

head(calls)

Might it be a tibble or data.table issue?

Yes this seems to be a tibble problem:

data("Social_Evolution")
calls2 <- as_tibble(calls)
callNetwork <- defineNetwork(nodes = actors, directed = TRUE)
callNetwork <- linkEvents(x = callNetwork, changeEvent = calls2,
                          nodes = actors)

Thanks, @shaunss; then I think it'd make sense to change the issue to a feature request asking to support objects of class tibble. It'd imply more than just changes in the linkEvents().
