ggplot thinks aesthetic wasn't made via `aes()`, but it was [closed]

Question

I use ggplot2 pretty regularly, and I have to say this one has me befuddled.

Script is:

library(tidyverse)

data_frame(value = rbinom(n = 100, size = 100, prob = 0.3)) %>%
  ggplot(mapping = aes(x = value)) %>%
  geom_histogram()

sessionInfo()

Output is:

> library(tidyverse)
Loading tidyverse: ggplot2
Loading tidyverse: tibble
Loading tidyverse: tidyr
Loading tidyverse: readr
Loading tidyverse: purrr
Loading tidyverse: dplyr

Error: Mapping must be created by `aes()` or `aes_()`

Answer 1

Try it with a plus sign, I make this mistake at least once a week.

data_frame(value = rbinom(n = 100, size = 100, prob = 0.3)) %>%
  ggplot(mapping = aes(x = value)) +
  geom_histogram()
