Issues with bind_rows() from dplyr - package loading error?

Question

I'm trying to use the bind_rows() function from dplyr (ver 0.4.1), but R command line can't find the function. It can find the help for the function, but any efforts to use the function are met with

> bind_rows()
Error: could not find function "bind_rows"

Am I doing something wrong? I understand bind_rows() was only introduced in ver 0.4.0, but I have a newer version than that.

Here is my sessionInfo()

Answer 1

Did you try to call it with the package prefix, e.g.

dplyr::bind_rows()

This should work even if there is a conflict with one of the other packages.

Answer 2

Closing all R sessions and re-installing dplyr worked in this situation. Thanks to David Arenburg for the prompt.
