Warning messages when printing tibbles

tidyverse

CORRECTION

It appears this has nothing to do with labelled vectors as I originally thought, printing of any tibble returns the same warning:

tibble::as_tibble(iris)
#> Warning: `...` is not empty.
#> 
#> We detected these problematic arguments:
#> * `needs_dots`
#> 
#> These dots only exist to allow future extensions and should be empty.
#> Did you misspecify an argument?

ORIGINAL POST

Can anyone explain the source/remedy of these warning messages when printing tibbles with vectors of class haven_labelled? Full system information below, but I'm using:

R       4.0.2
haven   2.3.1
tibble  3.0.2

library(haven)
library(tibble)

df <- tibble(x = labelled(
    x = 1:3, 
    labels = c("a" = 1, "b" = 2, "c" = 3)
))

df
#> Warning: `...` is not empty.
#> 
#> We detected these problematic arguments:
#> * `needs_dots`
#> 
#> These dots only exist to allow future extensions and should be empty.
#> Did you misspecify an argument?
#> # A tibble: 3 x 1
#>           x
#>   <int+lbl>
#> 1     1 [a]
#> 2     2 [b]
#> 3     3 [c]

class(df$x)
#> [1] "haven_labelled" "vctrs_vctr"     "integer"

I get the same issue and it seems to be causing downstream errors where haven_labelled is involved.

tibble 3.0.2 was published on CRAN only four days ago so I tried with tibble 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 but still get the same errors -- I don't know what the cause is. I only got these errors today. The packages I upgraded today were pillar and rlang.

This doesn't appear to be an issue in the development version of tibble.

tibble::tibble()
#> # A tibble: 0 x 0

packageVersion("tibble")
#> [1] '3.0.3.9000'

Thanks, this worked for me too. Perhaps worth filing an issue at https://github.com/tidyverse/tibble

Already filed here. As ttrodrigz noted, it has been fixed in tibble 3.0.3.
