Vscode-r: No command found

[wilfriedgh]

Good afternoon,

Problem

I can't run any R command from VSC with the R extension installed.

Additional explanations:

I installed the extension but am not able to run any command. For installing, I just downloaded from VSC marketplace and checked R path in the settings. When seeing that it was working, I uninstalled and reinstalled the extension, R, and lintr in R. I'm usually using RStudio without problem.

R, VSC and macOS are updated to the last version available.

Enclosed files:

settings.json.zip

@wilfriedgh Thanks for the detailed information, this was really helpful!:smile:
This enviroment is not so different than mine.
This problem maybe like https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/15837.
How did you install this extension?

[wilfriedgh]

It might.
I installed the extension through the VSCode marketplace, no special operations (I ran through your README twice but didn't find anything specific to do..)

Similar problem and solve in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/25026
This problem will probably fix by reinstall extension or VSCode or install VSCode insider version.
I'll update this extension tomorrow or 2 days ago.

Hi Ikuyadeu,
I uninstalled and reinstalled 1- VSC and 2- your extension without success today (meaning: it installed, but didn't work, while the CPP extension commands are found and work).
I also installed VSCinsider, and got the same issue.
I'll just do with RStudio for I'm running out of time at the moment (project deadline coming soon), but thank you really much for your support, and sad that I can't use your extension, but your work seems amazing. Good luck with the future developments:)

@wilfriedgh @wilfriedgh I'm sorry I couldn't be much of a help. 😞
Please delete ikuyadeu.r-0.* in your ~/.vscode/extensions/ and re-install my extensions when you will have time.

[wilfriedgh]

Don't worry Yuki, you've been answering as much as you could, I've actually been very satisfied with your support:)
For what you told me in your last message, I've tried it, and it didn't change anything. I also tried it on the insiders version, trying to prevent any extensions conflict by deleting all the extensions and reinstalling only yours afterwards, and still, I had this command not found problem.
Therefore it might be linked to my system, not to your extension..

On Windows 10 here, VSCode 1.12.2. I get the same error message, command not found, for pretty much any command that R extension is supposed to contribute. Tried uninstalling and installing the extension multiple times, no luck. Other extensions (e.g. Python) work.

@wilfriedgh @karolz-ms
Thank you for your issue, I reproduced!
Now, this extension work only in directory.

1. Please open directory that has your R source file.
2. F1 and Run Source

And I'll fix this problem in future.

[karolz-ms]

@Ikuyadeu thanks! This workaround works well for me :-)

[wilfriedgh]

@Ikuyadeu Works fine as well, thank you!
I'll edit the Store review to redirect to this page as soon as I have a bit of time.

Edit: I've removed "Mac" in the title, as it can happen on Windows as well apparently.

I was getting the same error, then this snippet solved it

"Please open directory that has your R source file.
F1 and Run Source"

[ejazr83]

I am getting the same issue, but when I try F1 and Run Source I get

Error command 'r.runSouce' not found

I am assuming open directory means opening it in VS Code, correct?

@ejazr83 did you ever manage to solve this? I'm running R 3.6 on ubuntu 18.04 and vs code 1.34.0. I have not specified any special path to R in the settings, when I had a look on the default path it looked good enough. Following the recipe here, I opened the folder in which the R script lives (/usr/bin/R for linux), pressed F1 and typed Run source. I get the error message:

Running the contributed command: 'r.runSource' failed.

strange enough, I have a different window running R without trouble. suggestions in this group? :)
