rbind_labelled bug

[OJWatson]

Session Info

Couple of things have popped up with rbind_labelled that could be made tidier.

1. Currently it checks the names of the first data frame against the rest to check they are there. If not it will error as follows.

better_bound <- rbind_labelled(extract[1:2], labels = l)
 Error in `[.data.frame`(X[[i]], ...) : undefined columns selected 

However, it would be best to either add a better message explaining this, or, just not care. Ideally, if variables are not shared then we should just fill with NA

2. Concatenate all argument. We should have a flag that causes all haven_labelled class variables to be concatenated. Quite often this is the default approach and then people may recode variables afterwards once they are easier able to see all responses recorded across their data sets.
