Vscode-r: radian does no get proper env variable and cannot launch

[gcambray]

Describe the bug
I installed radian as suggested on the wiki.
When I create a new R terminal I get an error (shown in screenshot below).
I traced this down on the radian source code to an issue with radian getting a path to the R library (Rhome function). I added the R_HOME value to my environment variable to try to solve this, but it still does not work. (R_Home is the path returned by executing R RHOME).
Radian works fine when launched from terminal, so I am assuming the problem is coming from it being launch from within the vscode-R extension, though it is unclear to me how environment variables could be affected...

Do you want to fix by self? (I hope your help!)

Yes

(If yes,) what kind of help do you want? (e.g. Which file should I fix, Survey (related documents)

I have tried pretty much all I could think of, so any idea would be appreciated.

(If related)setting.json

"r.sessionWatcher": true, "r.bracketedPaste": true, "r.rterm.option": [], "r.alwaysUseActiveTerminal": true, "r.lsp.path": "/usr/local/bin/R", "r.rterm.mac": "/Users/gcambray/anaconda3/bin/radian"

@randy3k Is there anything user should do when starting radian with the python from anaconda on macOS?

[randy3k]

I don’t think it is related to anaconda but rather the path to R or R_HOME are not exposed to VSCode terminal.

I vaguely remember that there is an option to import all users environmental variables in VSCode.

@gcambray Would you check the following VSCode settings:

"terminal.integrated.inheritEnv": true

as suggested in https://github.com/randy3k/radian/issues/170?

[gcambray]

This was set to true but only in my workspace settings. Setting it to true in my User settings did the trick.
Working now!
Thanks and best regards
