Can't display ivs with View() in RStudio

[arohland]

When I want to look at any dataframe that has an column of type iv I get an error when trying to look at the data using View() in Rstudio.
For example:

> guests <- tibble(
+   arrive = as.POSIXct(
+     c("2008-05-20 19:30:00", "2008-05-20 20:10:00", "2008-05-20 22:15:00"),
+     tz = "UTC"
+   ),
+   depart = as.POSIXct(
+     c("2008-05-20 23:00:00", "2008-05-21 00:00:00", "2008-05-21 00:30:00"),
+     tz = "UTC"
+   ),
+   name = list(
+     c("Mary", "Harry"),
+     c("Diana", "Susan"),
+     "Peter"
+   )
+ )
> 
> guests <- unnest(guests, name) %>%
+   mutate(iv = iv(arrive, depart), .keep = "unused")
> 
> View(guests)
Error in `as.character()`:
! Can't convert `x` <iv<datetime<UTC>>> to <character>.
Run `rlang::last_error()` to see where the error occurred.

This was fixed in the latest version of RStudio. It was an RStudio bug, not an ivs one.
rstudio/rstudio#10073

You should be able to get it from here:

That fixed it, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction.
I'm a big fan of the package. I've been playing around with IRanges but ivs serves my purpose way better.

Happy to hear it! Let me know if you have any other questions with it
