Internal R terminal says package is missing when it is not.

[RaghuNaik]

Vscode-R recognizes the R installation and is able to send the commands from the rmd file to the terminal.

The issue I have is that Vscode-R does not recognize the local library where the r packages are installed and is specified in the rprofile.site file through the .libPaths() command.

Because if this reason I get the error command saying that the package is not installed, when in fact it is installed in the local library.

Thanks for the help and this package.

R

Hi, does it work fine if you start an R session in a terminal? (Not in VSCode.)

In VSCode, what is your r.rterm.option setting?

[RaghuNaik]

Hi Andy, yes it works fine when I start a R session in the terminal. Here is the snapshot.

The snapshot in the internal terminal is:

In extension settings of the path is C:\Program Files\R\bin\x64\R.exe.

Thanks for your help.

R

The first screenshot contains some text about ‘Microsoft R Open’ whereas the second one doesn’t, which makes me wonder if different R versions are being called.

In a terminal (not a VSCode terminal), if you run the below command, do you get the ‘Microsoft R Open’ text in the output?

 C:\Program Files\R\bin\x64\R.exe

[RaghuNaik]

Sure. As below. Executed the command from the c: prompt. Thanks.

Thank you for checking that. It’s strange that the output is different depending on where R is called from (terminal or VSCode). I’m traveling at the moment but will try to duplicate this when I get back.

I’m guessing your OS is Windows? What is the r.rterm.option setting VSCode?

[RaghuNaik]

Yes I am using windows 10. Also I do not see any settings for r.rterm.opton in my setting.json file. Should I be having one? Thanks.

[andycraig]

If there’s no r.term.option in your settings file it means it’s set to the default. Thank you for checking :)

[andycraig]

One of the arguments in the r.rterm.option default is --no-site-file, which is probably causing your rprofile.site file to be ignored. (The other arguments are --no-save and --no-restore.) Try adding this to your settings.json file and see if the problem goes away:

"r.rterm.option": [
        "--no-save",
        "--no-restore"
]

EDIT: I originally wrote r.term.options in the above example. I have corrected it to r.term.option.
EDIT: Fixed to r.rterm.option. Sorry @RaghuNaik!

Also, after struggling a bit, I realized it should be r.rterm.option .

Now everything works fine.

Thank you for your help on this.

Regards.

Sorry about that, I managed to make a lot of mistakes in one short line! Glad to hear it’s now working. We’ve updated the settings display (#136) so hopefully this sort of problem would be easier to identify/solve in future.

Thank you for your perseverance and for using vscode-R!
