Is anyone else encountering issues installing the dev version of ggplot2? I fully appreciate that I am subject to unforeseen issues etc using the dev version of something but this error seems fairly straight forward and I was wondering if anyone has encountered it.
devtools::install_github("tidyverse/ggplot2")
This installs the dev version of rlang as well but the actual installation of ggplot2 fails with this error:
* installing *source* package 'ggplot2' ...
** R
** data
*** moving datasets to lazyload DB
** inst
** tests
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Error in is_list(x) : object 'rlang_is_list' not found

* restoring previous 'C:/Users/salbers/R/win-library/3.5/ggplot2'
In R CMD INSTALL
Installation failed: Command failed (1)
Sure enough rlang::is_list() outputs an error:
> rlang::is_list()
Error in rlang::is_list() : object 'rlang_is_list' not found
rlang::is_list is an exported object from the package:
and the underlying c++ code seems to be there:
All this makes me think that this is something wrong with me/my system but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
So is anyone else experiencing this behaviour when installing the dev version of ggplot2?

Well, I was ploting some graphics using ggplot. But now I run the code again and got this same error.
I tested some examples of ggplot and I'm also getting this error, I don't know what it is but its weird.
I've just installed the latest ggplot2 dev and used it without any issue. Maybe try to install rlang and ggplot2 to a new library folder using .libPaths(), lib & lib.loc?
Make sure that you're installing your R packages in a clean R session. If you already have rlang loaded when you attempt to install a new version, it's possible that installation can (somewhat quietly) fail when attempting to copy over rlang.so, which would leave you with a temporarily broken rlang.
I would recommend trying to reinstall both rlang and ggplot2 in a clean R session.
I was able to get a little further in the installation process by commenting out devtools, usethis, testthat and lobstr from my .rprofile. That resulted in R telling me that rlang was not found. Basically I am at the same place as this post:
I think one of the challenges here might be that devtools itself depends on rlang, so if you attempt to install rlang with something like:
devtools::install_github("r-lib/rlang")
then things can go awry as you end up installing a package that is already loaded in R. Unfortunately, on Windows using devtools to install packages that devtools itself depends on does not work very well (especially for packages containing compiled code).
Sorry @kevinushey I think my response was a bit obtuse. Installation of rlang proceeds fine using either the CRAN or the dev version. The issue arise, even when I use a R --vanilla session, when I try to install the dev version of ggplot2 which installs dev rlang fine but then fails on this error:
*** arch - i386
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'ggplot2' in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib):

I tried with the remotes packages as well because it does not depend on rlang but that did not yield any different results. FWIW, I fully understand that using the dev version exposes me to exactly this type of thing.
That still appears to be some form of issue where rlang was not fully installed. Can you give the entire output of what you get when attempting to install rlang, both the command you ran and the output you saw?
