Not working on Windows

[randy3k]

Windows does not read from STDIN non-blocking-ly. We might need to use PEEKNAMEDPIPE to check that STDIN is ready.

I see that this is closed , however I still can't install via windows. Is there an alternative solution proposed that wasn't documented here ?

[randy3k]

It should be working on Windows. But you need to

1. have Rtools installed
2. expose the path to R.exe via the PATH environmental variable.

[rwatts3]

ok i'll install rtools,
and try to re-install

Completed step 1.
A little confused about step 2, however I selected the PATH option in the installation wizard, wondering if this is the same as step 2.

Either way the languageserver still does not work properly after installation.

[randy3k]

It seems that you have the server installed properly, but the language client that you are using does not work properly on Windows. To be honest, I have only tested the server with Sublime Text on Windows. The VScode and Atom clients may not work...

Let me reopen it, I can confirm that that it does not play well on Atom. Maybe I should also implement a tcp socket entry point.

[rwatts3]

thank you

13c3db5 has implemented the socket connection. I have tested on both Sublime Text and Atom.

@Ikuyadeu vscode-r-lsp should use the tcp connection on Windows as stdio doesn't work on Windows. atom-ide-r has also switched to tcp connection.

@randy3k Thank you for information!
I'll fix it on this weekend.But I don't have Windows.
Could you use the vscode-r-lsp after I published the new version.

[randy3k]

I guess you just need to test the TCP connection on your mac/linux. Windows support should be spontaneous if the setup is correct.
