Error: ! Failed to evaluate glue component about ggplot2 HOT 6 CLOSED

I've tested a little bit and it all seems to work fine with glue 1.6.2 but not 1.7.0.

I think the issue is as follows. ggplot2 throws a special error when facetting columns are absent, like for the geom_hline() case. This error is then caught and is given special treatment (i.e. it applies to all facets). However, glue now wraps errors (see tidyverse/glue#294) that hide the special ggplot2 error. The special error is still there, but it doesn't get caught as such.

Thanks for the report! Did this code used to work (also with geom_hline()) and no longer does?

Yes, it worked previously -- I auto-updated some packages (not sure which ones) and now it no longer works.

Thanks that is helpful to know. I can reproduce this on my end, but can I ask you about the versions of R, ggplot2, scales and glue you're using anyway?

R version 4.3.2 (2023-10-31)
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)

@teunbrand Thank you for investigating!
