Some time ago (this year) i was able to use "dp" as a variable in the sumfile argument to retrieve sex and age data at the tract level for the 2020 decennial census. However, it seems to not work anymore. When I use "dp" in the load_variables function, I get the following error:

Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
<!doctype html>
(right here) ------^

When using "dp" as input in the get_decennial() function, it reports that the PL dataset is being queried instead:

get_decennial(geography = "tract", variables = "DP1_0001C" , sumfile = "dp", state = "36", county = c("005", "047", "061", "081", "085"), year = 2020)

Getting data from the 2020 decennial Census
Using the PL 94-171 Redistricting Data summary file
Error in UseMethod("gather") :
no applicable method for 'gather' applied to an object of class "character"

This works fine for me, tested against the most recent GitHub version. Perhaps try updating the package?

It seems like that-s it. I run the line in another laptop and it worked, so they probably have different versions. Thank you for the catch!
