ellipses_info() doesn't work with do.call()

[ArthurAndrews]

I have a variety of models in a list and I had hoped to do.call(compare_performance, model_list) but receive either broken output (with lm models) or an error message (with merMod models). Any ideas why?

Here is a reprex:

library(performance)

lm1 <- lm(Sepal.Length ~ Species, data = iris)
lm2 <- lm(Sepal.Length ~ Species + Petal.Length, data = iris)
lm3 <- lm(Sepal.Length ~ Species * Petal.Length, data = iris)

compare_performance(lm1, lm2, lm3)
#> # Comparison of Model Performance Indices
#> 
#> Name | Model | AIC (weights) | AICc (weights) | BIC (weights) |    R2 | R2 (adj.) |  RMSE | Sigma
#> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#> lm1  |    lm | 231.5 (<.001) |  231.7 (<.001) | 243.5 (<.001) | 0.619 |     0.614 | 0.510 | 0.515
#> lm2  |    lm | 106.2 (0.566) |  106.6 (0.611) | 121.3 (0.964) | 0.837 |     0.833 | 0.333 | 0.338
#> lm3  |    lm | 106.8 (0.434) |  107.6 (0.389) | 127.8 (0.036) | 0.840 |     0.835 | 0.330 | 0.336

# this doesn't work
do.call(compare_performance, list(lm1, lm2, lm3))

[strengejacke]

do.call(insight::ellipsis_info, list(lm1, lm2, lm3, only_models = TRUE))
