I am constantly getting warnings about partial argument matches at times when it doesn't seem appropriate. For instance, the below code when there are NO arguments:

require(tidyverse)

#> Loading required package: tidyverse

x <- structure(list(unitid = 100654, year = 2006, state_of_residence_when_student_was_first_admitted = "Alabama", 

                    state_of_residence_original_line_number_on_survey_form = "Alabama", 

                    first_time_degree_certificate_seeking_undergraduate_students = 651, 

                    first_time_degree_certificate_seeking_undergraduate_students_who_graduated_from_high_school_in_the_past_12_months = 602), class = c("tbl_df", 

                                                                                                                                                        "tbl", "data.frame"), row.names = c(NA, -1L))

The warning that I get is:

Warning messages:

1: In seq.default(along = x) :

partial argument match of 'along' to 'along.with'

2: In seq.default(along = x) :

partial argument match of 'along' to 'along.with'

And I get this all the time for various different code. Does this happen to others? Is it a known issue with tidyverse (my searches yielded nothing). Or have I screwed something up in my settings that is causing this?

Jenny Bryan solved this for me. It is a bug in R 3.5.1 which has been fixed, but the version with that fix has not been released yet.

See bug report here:
https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17449

These options control the partial matching warnings:

• 
  warnPartialMatchArgs: (logical) If TRUE, warns if partial matching is used in argument matching.


• 
  warnPartialMatchAttr: (logical) If TRUE, warns if partial matching is used in extracting attributes via attr.


• 
  warnPartialMatchDollar: (logical) If TRUE, warns if partial matching is used for extraction by $.

check if they're set and where they're set from and either disable it wholly or around the parts you just want to be less noisy.
