@edarague Thank you for your issue!
Did you set r.rterm.windows to your R.exe path?
Maybe you should set C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-3.3.2\\bin\\x64\\R.exe.

[edarague]

Thank you very much, my error was that the version I have installed is different from the one that was in the vs code configurations, so I created a parameter appropriate to my version number in the user settings. In my case v3.3.2

Where do we set r.rterm.windows?
From VS Code settings?
Or as a system variable?
or how?

[Ikuyadeu]

@skanskan It's VS Code settings.

1. Please put F1 key.
2. And type Preferences: open user settings or Ctrl + ,
3. You can find r.rterm.windows
   Thank you for using!

[skanskan]

Thank you.
Finally that method didn't work for me.
Manually editing the file setting.json on the disk.

I'm not sure, could you restart VS Code?

@Ikuyadeu thanks for your R Extension for VSCode, eventhough you won't maintain it anymore!

I setted the actual R.exe path for windows via configuring "r.rterm.windows" in the "settings.json" file in the user VSCode settings to {"r.rterm.windows": "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.1\bin\x64\R.exe"}, but when trying to run a R code in an opened folder i still get the error message "command 'r.runSelection' not found"!

Does your R-Extension support R up to a specific Version?

Thanks for any help!

I am having similar issue to @gregkvas. I have built both, VSCode and R, from sources.
My R is located under /usr/local/src/R/R-3.5.1/bin. Additionally, I have symlinks to R and Rscript in /usr/local/src/R which is added to $PATH. Moreover, I tried solving this as described in #78, however that didn't help.

I have tried manually setting the Rterm: Linux and Rpath: Lsp to both of the paths I mentioned earlier and that did not help as well. I am still getting the "command ... not found".

@tmakowski:

1. Did you update VSCode to its newest version?
2. Did you integrate ‘R.exe’ into your Rterm path definition?
3. Did you restart VSCode?

Setting the Rterm-path in VSCode preferences and simply updating VSCode to its newest version (reloading when done) worked for me to solve the issue “command...not found”...

Installing LSP as described in #78 was’nt needed for me to solve the issue, but brought me a great Language Server with ‘hovering-over’ documentation-windows...

R 3.5.2 and newest VS Code, I still have the problem, and I have set the actual path

[PalanibharathiM]

@ohmlovesampere check whether the path is correct in settings

You'll need to open the folder that has R source file.

Been awhile but I wanted to provide some help on how I did this, have had error that says "win32 cannot run in windows" and my path was empty or couldn't be found. so here's the steps.

1. Go to https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/
2. Select whichever version suits you but for simplicities sake I am on a Windows machine
3. During the runtime installation I unchecked 32-bit and only stayed with the 64-bit as the documentation states there could be a conflict if both are installed at the same time
4. I had an issue locating my path so I knew my Rx64 GUI 4.0.3 traditional terminal could be invoked
5. so at the ">" i typed the below
   > R.home()
   you can use this too...
   > file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")

Next Steps:

1. once you're done locating the path on the typical right clicking on the R.exe icon copy and paste the entire path
2. directly into the VSCode's "R>Rterm: windows" setting field
3. as an example mine was found along with my OneDrive as its a practice I've been doing
4. hope this helps
