Rstudio: Rstudio 1.2 crash on any rmd in windws (ERROR: option error has NULL value)
System details
RStudio Edition : Desktop
RStudio Versions : 1.2.1335/1511
OS Version : win 10 pro
R Version : 3.6
Steps to reproduce the problem
File --> New file --> R Markdown... --> OK
click on the "play" button of the first chunk (i.e. setup)
Describe the problem in detail
The console starts to show ERROR: option error has NULL value and repeat infinitely to show it again and again (every time in a new line). RStudio is blocked, you can type something on the console but nothing happens if you run it. Menus are shown but nothing happens if you select any option. CPU fun twists very fast, the RStudio processes consume high ammount of RAM and CPU (QtWebEngineProcess.exe QtWebEngineProcess.exe ~30% CPU, 100MB RAM, RStudio R Session ~30% CPU, 4.7GB RAM (after one minute, and constantly increasing)). I can switch off RStuio only by killing the entire processes' group by Task Manager.

This can be related with #4752 but my .RProfile is empty.
I have tried to add to it rstudio.errors.suppressed=FALSE as suggested in #4723 but it did not fix the issue.

We have a fix for #4723 available; would you be willing to try a build and let us know if it fixes the problem for you?

Do you have build for MacOS with this fix? I found the build https://s3.amazonaws.com/rstudio-ide-build/desktop/macos/RStudio-1.2.1511.dmg by hit and trial but it also has the same problem ERROR: option error has NULL value when executing chunks in Rmd

I had same issue on Windows and this build fixed it.

Same for Ubuntu and the Linux build https://s3.amazonaws.com/rstudio-ide-build/desktop/bionic/amd64/rstudio-1.2.1518-amd64.deb that can be found at the same adress.

Mmmm. For some reason the preview page has reverted back to the older preview version. When I visited that page earlier today, I was pointed to v 1.2.1522 which resolves the issue.
ramnathv

Yes, we hit an issue with the 1.2.1522 and had to revert to the previous build until we sort it out. Sorry about that!
gtritchie
on 17 May 2019
@gtritchie Thanks! I am using 1.2.1522 and have not run into any issues so far. But I will wait for a better build. Thanks again!
ramnathv
on 17 May 2019
The issue under investigation appears to be Mac-only, so probably fine to keep using 1.2.1522 on Windows if you've already got it installed.
gtritchie
on 17 May 2019
Oh. I am actually using the Mac version of 1.2.1522. Would you recommend that I downgrade to 1.2.1511?
ramnathv
on 17 May 2019
If it’s working should be fine. The issue is that on some systems (i.e. mine) it won’t start.
gtritchie
on 17 May 2019
https://s3.amazonaws.com/rstudio-ide-build/desktop/macos/RStudio-1.2.1522.dmg works without error in my mac. Thanks.

1.2.1522 is working fine on my mac with Mojave 10.14.4.
@gtritchie It should be noted that v. 1.2.1511 and the current stable do not work either, as per this bug they crash with Rmd files, and other stuff like option(error= ... ). So I don't see the point to revert to an other broken version. But anyways thanks @anjesh for the direct link.

On some machines 1.2.1522 would not start at all, which was deemed worse. An updated preview build is in progress.
gtritchie
on 17 May 2019
The updated 1.2.1522 preview build is up at https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/

This also worked for me on MacOS with Mojave 10.14.5!

Verified problem is resolved based on feedback above.

Was getting the same error "ERROR: option error has NULL value", and same behavior. The release of RStudio v1.2.1541-1 _solved_ the problem. Thanks.

One of my co-workers has the same problem with an older version of RStudio (1.1.463). He can't upgrade because he needs a 32-bit R version.
The solution was to upgrade all packages to R 3.6.1 with update.packages(ask = FALSE, checkbuil = TRUE). Then install the development version of the rstudioapi package from GitHub instead of the CRAN version remotes::install_github("rstudio/rstudioapi")

Hi ronblum
thanks for your reply
I'm getting another error which comes repeatedly in the console similar to the rmarkdown error earlier
while working in ggplot this is something I havent seen before
Error in fetch(key) :
lazy-load database 'C:/Users/axelp/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/ggplot2/help/ggplot2.rdb' is corrupt
I switched to Rscript from markdown yet the agony persists ! :/

@axelpuri Can you file a new issue for this? It sounds like a different problem. Thanks!
ronblum

This is a known issue -- this can occur when you reinstall an already-installed package. Restarting the R session will fix it.

I have restarted and reinstalled R and that didnt fix this error. Do you have any tips?

What fixed this issue for me was adding the file location to Python to the PATH in windows.
Search "PATH" in the windows search bar, then select "Internal Variables", then go to "Path" in the "System Variables" and click "Edit" and add the PATH ( "C:/Users/myUSER/Anaconda3/python.exe" ) to Python here.
Then in R just run:
{r}
reticulate::use_python("C:/Users/myUSER/Anaconda3/python.exe")
Where the use_python() contains the Python version you added to the PATH.
