Error using `names_inform_repair()` interactively

[billdenney]

This is the issue underlying tidyverse/tibble#1664

The following works in reprex but does not work interactively. The error is coming from this line when run interactively:

rlang/R/names.R

Line 61 in b19eba9

inform(message = message, class = "rlib_message_name_repair")

@krlmlr, I have isolated the issue here.

orig_names <- c("Timepoint \r\n(hr)", "Timepoint (day)", "1501", "1502", "1503", 
                "", "30 mg/kg", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "Timepoint \r\n(hr)", 
                "Timepoint (day)", "1501", "1502", "1503")
names <- c("Timepoint \r\n(hr)...1", "Timepoint (day)...2", "1501...3", 
           "1502...4", "1503...5", "...6", "30 mg/kg", "...8", "...9", "...10", 
           "...11", "...12", "...13", "...14", "...15", "...16", "...17", 
           "Timepoint \r\n(hr)...18", "Timepoint (day)...19", "1501...20", 
           "1502...21", "1503...22")

Is this really r-lib/cli#667?

[billdenney]

Yes, it's really r-lib/cli#667. I just verified that the new r-lib/cli#795 that I created fixes it.
