assume() is broken (urgent)

[VectorPosse]

I'm teaching a stats class, and the code for the assume() function appears to be deeply broken. Practically every chapter of material starting from today through the rest of the semester relies on assume() working, so I'm hoping someone has the bandwidth to take a look at this ASAP.

Here is a reproducible example:

library(openintro)
heart_transplant %>%
     specify(response = survived, success = "alive") %>%
     hypothesize(null = "point", p = 0.5) %>%
     assume(distribution = "z")

Here is the error I'm seeing:

Error in eval(call("force", as.symbol(paste0("..", x)))) : 
  argument "..2" is missing, with no default

And R version info (we're using Posit Workbench on a locally maintained server):

I am afraid I can not reproduce (although I am on 4.4.1 version). Maybe try updating (or completely reinstalling) packages?

[simonpcouch]

Just did a manual trigger of our checks that test infer (including assume()) against CRAN versions of packages and looks like the package is fine.

That said, it does look like a version of the glue package from a few years ago had that eval(call("force" line that shows up in your error. I would start with trying to update that package, restarting R, and checking whether the error goes away!

[VectorPosse]

Yes, updating glue did the trick. Thank you so much for getting to this so promptly. My students would thank you too, but now their homework assignment can be completed in time for class tomorrow, so they don't get the day off that they were hoping for. :-)

Y'all are awesome. I really appreciate the help.
