ggplot2 and gghalves compatibility issues

[LuisaBraun-Wohlfahrt]

Hello,
Recently I wanted to simply rerun code to make boxplots. Now it's not working anymore giving me the following error code:

Error in geom_half_point():
! Problem while converting geom to grob.
ℹ Error occurred in the 2nd layer.
Caused by error in fun():
! argument "layout" is missing, with no default
Run rlang::last_trace() to see where the error occurred.

It seems to be an issue with the new version of ggplot. I've tried many things but nothing has worked and I am desperate!!!

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Easiest ist to downgrade to ggplot 3.5.2...

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Or did anyone find a way around it?

I have swapped to using the ggdist package - there are some similar plots available geom_slab as an equivalent to geom_density_half, and various different ways to do the points if you need them too. there is also a geom_raincloud or similar. ggdist keeps getting updated and fully works with ggplot2 > 4.0.0
