Basic dyplr functions give an error: "check_dots_used"

Trying to figure out why I am getting this error (never seen it before, google is no help):

Error in check_dots_used(action = warn) : unused argument (action = warn)

I am getting the error for the very basic trial below, but also for group_by/count, but not filter or select.

 x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
 y <- runif(5)
 tibble(x, y)
Error in check_dots_used(action = warn) : unused argument (action = warn)

I had the same problem: urganmax's solution to update to ellipsis-0.3.1 in a comment did it for me. Moving this as an answer so it is easier to find.

I had to update/re-install tidyverse and the ellipsis package explicitly:

install.packages("tidyverse")
install.packages("ellipsis")

Then restart your session and library your packages (or unload and reload your packages).

I'm pretty certain that your version of the ellipsis package (part of the tidyverse) is out of sync with the other tidyverse packages you have. update.packages() should work ... (if you want to live dangerously, update.packages(ask=FALSE) to update all packages without asking for confirmation for each one).

From the tidyverse NEWS file:

All functions that take ... have been instrumented with functions from the ellipsis package to warn if you’ve supplied arguments that are ignored (typically because you’ve misspelled an argument name) (#573).
