upcoming dplyr / sf combination breaks GADMTools on CRAN

[edzer]

You probably got an email from rstudio, warning that the new dplyr breaks GADMTools; the reason for this is that dplyr no longer accepts sf objects as second argument in left_join; it breaks here:

GADMTools/R/35_dotDensity.R

Line 75 in 2a0d01f

.sf_data <- dplyr::left_join(.sf_data, .map) %>%

What you want to do is revert the arguments, e.g. use right_join(.map, .sf_data) so that right_join.sf is being called, and that takes care of dplyr's problems with sf objects. For you to check that right_join is the right thing to call. See also r-spatial/sf#1310 ; I ran into this because GADMTools broke in a revdep check for upcoming sf, but that turned out to be my, not your problem (and now solved); checking with new dplyr revealed this one.
