SessionWatcher: "Could not find function `str`"

[pat-s]

Seems like str() in l.57 needs to be replaced by utils::str() to successfully execute ~/.vscode-R/init.R.

Due to

Each time the extension is activated, the latest session watcher script (init.R) will be deployed to ~/.vscode-R/init.R.

I can't solve this by manually changing to utils::str().

Wondering a bit that I seem to be the first stumbling across this? Or am I missing something? 🤔

Thanks for your effort!! 🚀

Thanks for your reporting!

Oh, that was quick ;)

Is there any way how one can install the dev version of the extension? Searching the web for this was not really helpful. (Assuming that the fix won't directly result in a new release).

[renkun-ken]

I'm maintaining a cutting-edge branch https://github.com/renkun-ken/vscode-R/tree/test which is the latest development version with all my PR at https://github.com/Ikuyadeu/vscode-R/pulls are merged.

I'll take a look at how to generate automatic build on push using CI or GitHub Actions so that the latest build from this branch can be downloaded for testing.

By the way, I'm also maintaining the cutting edge branch of langaugeserver (https://github.com/renkun-ken/languageserver/tree/test) which merged all my PR at https://github.com/REditorSupport/languageserver/pulls. This is easier for testing, just devtools::install_github("renkun-ken/languageserver@test").

Thanks, installed the languageserver dev branch.
However, installing an extension not being listed in the marketplace (or just a custom dev version of it) seems more complicated. I came across code --install-extension <ext> but I am not sure if should go down this route just for this.

Maybe it would be worth writing a little guide how to do so (as a blog post or similar).
But maybe merging goes quick and all this effort is not really needed (idk how active the repo here is).

Feel free to mark this comment as off-topic :)

I create a testing release at https://github.com/renkun-ken/vscode-R/releases. This tracks my latest test branch and is only for testing purpose.

Thanks, this worked. Works quite well!
