miniconda_path does not substitute $USER

[nschan]

Hello,

I ran noticed a minor issue: reticulate::miniconda_path() is not substituting $USER for the actual username. I have set XDG_DATA_HOME on an RStudio server to point to a directory like /mnt/storage/rstudio/$USER. When using reticulate the miniconda_path is returned as "/mnt/storage/rstudio/$USER/r-miniconda", which is not what I would expect to happed. Is there a better way to set XDG_DATA_HOME so the variable gets substituted?
I am running RStudio server on debian12 and set XDG_DATA_HOME using sudo systemctl edit rstudio-server.

Thank you for reporting! This is now fixed in the development version of reticulate. You can install with the R command:

remotes::install_github("rstudio/reticulate")
