pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_table() is loading column labels but not data?

[SamuelStroebel]

as the title says, trying to access a local file in a GDB, a dataframe is created with the correct number of columns but no data? 

Code:

import pandas as pd
from arcgis.features import GeoAccessor, GeoSeriesAccessor
from arcgis import GIS
import arcpy

df = pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_table(r'some_file_path_to_a_table_in_a_gdb')

df.shape

output: 0 x number of cols in input table

skip_nulls=False also worked for me

df = pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_table(filename=os.path.join(sde,"Table"),skip_nulls=False)
