Dev version: Error in `get_labels()`: ! `breaks` and `labels` are different lengths

[tungttnguyen]

The following code worked with the current version 3.3.6 on CRAN but failed in the dev version (R 4.1.3 x64 on Windows 10). I am wondering what commit broke it? Thanks!

groups <- LETTERS[1:3]

df <- data.frame(
  x = rep(1:10, 3),
  y = rnorm(30),
  group = rep(groups, each = 10)
)
df

A more minimal reprex (not current dev with pretty errors):

library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame(
  x = c(1:10),
  y = rnorm(10)
)

ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) +
  geom_line() +
  scale_x_reverse(breaks = c(10, 5, 2, 1),
                  labels = c("10", "5", "", "1"))
#> Error in `f()`:
#> ! `breaks` and `labels` are different lengths

^{Created on 2022-05-26 by the reprex package (v2.0.1)}

The cause of the error happens here (I'm afraid I'm guilty of introducing this bug in #4775):

ggplot2/R/scale-.r

Lines 639 to 640 in 50e917a

	domain <- suppressWarnings(self$trans$transform(self$trans$domain))
	limits <- oob_squish(limits, domain)

The domain (-Inf, Inf) gets the reverse transform and becomes (Inf, -Inf). oob_squish() doesn't internally sort the range argument, so the limits become c(-Inf,-Inf), which lead to one break: -Inf, which has a different length than labels.

Should in theory be fixed by sorting the domain before passing it to oob_squish() , e.g.:

limits <- oob_squish(limits, sort(domain))

Off topic: I think it would do no harm to suggest to the good people of the {scales} package that it might be a good idea to sort the range before squishing.

Thanks @teunbrand !
