Linting does not work on Windows 10

[schelhorn]

When running lintr under Windows 10 with latest VS Code and R extension, the linting does not work on my system since the line (in your extension.js)

    cp.execFile(RPath, parameters, (error, stdout, stderr) => {

does produce an empty stdout. The R command built by this line itself works when run externally, and produces linting messages to stdout. However, when I change the line to

        cp.exec(RPath + " " + parameters.join(" "), (error, stdout, stderr) => {

then linting works just fine in the R extension. Would it be possible to change the line accordingly?

Great! Changing line is possible.
But my develop env is windows 10 and Mac. In my windows, lintr can run.
Could you tell me your settings for R?

Sorry, not required afterall. There issue only appears when I specified Rterm.exe as the interpreter. With R.exe, everything works as intended. Closing.

@schelhorn Ok, I should write for windows settings.
Thank you for information.

Hi @Ikuyadeu,

I'm using Windows 10, vscode 1.18.0 and R (version 3.4.2 (2017-09-28) -- "Short Summer") but the Lintr is not working for me. It's a fresh installation, so I don't know if I did anything wrong.

User Settings:

{ "r.rterm.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-3.4.2\\bin\\x64\\R.exe" }
