I've used the spread function in tidyverse before, and it worked fine. Now, however, it raises this error message for all uses of the spread function:

df <- data_frame(x = c('a', 'b'), y = 1:2)
df %>% spread(x, y)

Error in synthetic.instrument(primary_id = primary_id, currency = currency, : object 'y' not found

Error in synthetic.instrument(primary_id = primary_id, currency = currency, : argument "memberratio" is missing, with no default

What is causing the error?

maybe a library conflict, try `df %>% tidyr::spread(x, y)` – SymbolixAU Feb 07 '18 at 23:58

Run `conflicts(detail=TRUE)` and look for `"spread"` in the result. Or be cool and do `any(conflicts() == "spread")` – Rich Scriven Feb 08 '18 at 00:00
searching the error messages suggests the `FinancialInstruments` package is throwing the error – SymbolixAU Feb 08 '18 at 00:02
thank you SymbolixAU and Rich Scriven. it is library conflict, especially FinancialInstruments package. – Kitty TX Feb 09 '18 at 01:11
