Table throws an error, but inside shapes it works.

[roland-KA]

When calling ctables = Shapefile.Table("./ne_110m_admin_0_countries.shp") (as shown in 'quick start'), I get the following error:

ctables Failed to show value: MethodError: no method matching length(::Shapefile.Row{Shapefile.Polygon}) Closest candidates are: length(!Matched::Union{Base.KeySet, Base.ValueIterator}) at abstractdict.jl:58 length(!Matched::Union{DataStructures.OrderedRobinDict, DataStructures.RobinDict}) at /Users/roland/.julia/packages/DataStructures/nBjdy/src/ordered_robin_dict.jl:86 length(!Matched::Union{DataStructures.SortedDict, DataStructures.SortedMultiDict, DataStructures.SortedSet}) at /Users/roland/.julia/packages/DataStructures/nBjdy/src/container_loops.jl:322

But when I embed that expression in a call to shapes like:

geoms = Shapefile.shapes(Shapefile.Table("./ne_110m_admin_0_countries.shp"))

Then erverything works as expected. So why does the isolated Tables statement cause an error?

The reason the first line fails is because it crashes when trying to show the output in Pluto. I'll close this as a duplicate of #50.
