VsCode #1295
Comments

Thanks MikeXL - it's on the todo list! |
|
And now, with today's announcements, support for VS for Mac would be great too. |
|
Which one of the two would you consider of more immediate utility to you? (This is a question for everyone who would like one or the other or both.) |
|
I think it depends on the implementation -- if you can get the full set of tools available in vscode, that'd be great. If the offering there is going to be less than what's in VS for Windows, then I'd prefer a full implementation in VS for Mac. Has anyone tried pulling the repo and just building it in the new VS for Mac? I'm assuming you'd need new version specs for the Nuget packages, but are there other known reasons why the build (without the installer) wouldn't work? (Haven't tried this myself...) I'm assuming you'll need a different solution for the installer... thoughts on that? |
|
VS for Mac is based on Xamarin Studio, and so the extensibility API there is completely different. |
|
OK, then I think focusing on vscode first makes more sense. |
|
Related in VSC microsoft/vscode#14393 |
|
Has there been any progress? |
|
It is basically at prototype stage/shape at the moment. It is possible to build and try from sources. Probably does not work on Linux. Does not have console with completion since VS Code does not have extensible console/REPL with intellisense. |
|
How would one install from source ? |
|
Attempted to install via source, was able to build the extension using vsce. [Error - 10:18:08 AM] Starting client failed |
|
You need .NET Core 2.0 runtime. |
|
awesome thank you. |
|
are there any instructions for building rtvs in a docker container, and connecting to that container from vscode's extension ? |
|
Maybe a switch in vscode or setting that would allow all commands to be
sent to a docker endpoint

However, there is no code in the extension that would handle remoting.
https://github.com/Microsoft/RTVS/blob/master/src/VsCode/LanguageServer/Impl/InteractiveWorkflow/REvalSession.cs
only handles local connections atm

No, I mean there is no code in the extension equivalent to https://github.com/Microsoft/RTVS/blob/master/src/Host/Client/Impl/Host/RemoteBrokerClient.cs Current code specifically creates local R instance. Docker is remoting scenario, same as VM or WSL. |

Got it

I was more so asking if you I were to contribute a setting the vscode extension, that would allow connecting to a container that is already running. I think to do this It would just be a matter of adding the setting, and in extensions.ts where we are connecting right to the Langserver.dll we would rather send the commands to the docker container. specified in the setting. |
|
Any news? Would we be able to install this for VsCode as an extension or in some other form in the near future? |
|
No immediate plans. It is basically at prototype stage/shape at the moment. VS Code does not have extensible console/REPL with intellisense, does not have ability to create custom windows for plots or help and there is no connection between editor and the REPL. |
|
Forgive me if I missed this but could someone who could help identify issues in VSCode that would allow for this to happen? VSCode features are almost completely driven by upvotes if we could add a list of those issues that would help this to happen we could all go vote for them. I've looked but I don't know much about programming and didn't find anything. Thank you for your work on this I am really looking forward to using VSCode in the future for all of my R work. Edit: maybe this is related Terminal Providers #46192 |
|
Please also consider Linux for RTVS for Visual Code. |
|
I'd point followers of this issue to this extension for VS Code: https://github.com/Ikuyadeu/vscode-R Depending on the reasons you are hoping for RTVS for VS Code, this may satisfy some/all of your needs. It supports highlighting, linting, and REPL among a couple of other things. And if you're itching to build out some functionality for VS Code, that extension is maintained by a lone developer who I suspect would be very happy to get contributions. |
|
I am developer of https://github.com/Ikuyadeu/vscode-R. |
|
@Ikuyadeu - unlikely. This repo actually has implementation of R for VSCode in https://github.com/Microsoft/RTVS/tree/master/src/VsCode , there is no reason to have another one. |
|
Hm, looks like this repo has not been updated in almost a year. Thanks! |
|
It is possible to build your own from sources but extension is not officially published or supported. Speaking of, we'd like to hear why R Studio does not work for you, it is free in academia, as far as I know... VS Code does not have REPL or extensive graphics capabilities, it is mostly about editing code, so R in VS Code extension functionality would be quite limited. |
|
@MikhailArkhipov Good! Thank you for your fast reply. |
|
Speaking for myself --- I would probably stick with RStudio for teaching purposes, though that isn't necessarily what's going on with PhD students --- I use VS Code with @Ikuyadeu's R extension because VS Code is so far superior as a text editor compared to RStudio. Basic REPL support is so trivial to add to VS Code (and indeed, @Ikuyadeu has done that with the extension) that in some respects VS Code becomes better than RStudio for R development. The extension also included linting and through a related extension, LSP support. I am very thankful for @Ikuyadeu's work on it and respectfully ask that the extension be kept available, perhaps with a notice in the README that it is no longer maintained. I'll have to give the RTVS team's version a go, though that will require me to mess around trying to figure out how to install it... |
|
@jacob-long - when I said REPL I didn't mean R terminal. Yes, terminal is trivial. However, both R Studio and RTVS provide proper REPL with colors, history, intellisense, snippets, ability to execute code from the editor selectively and shared variable declarations between REPL and editor. |
|
@MikhailArkhipov
It is quite unattractive to use Rstudio for a single language. |
|
Because it has rich feature set? It all depends on you expectations of the R extension feature set. What would be the min bar of acceptable functionality? The extensions you've mentioned have millions (and Python over 18M downloads and probably close to a million regular users). R extension has about 200K downloads, active users maybe 20K? |
|
The minimum feature set is exactly what is currently in Ikuyadeu's extension. |
|
Then the extension already exists, why create another one? |
|
No need to create another. But it seems like it will be unsupported soon. Looking back over this whole thread, I am confused about Microsoft's planning. You seemed to promise Rtools for Visual Studio for Mac on some point but then pivoted to Rtools for VSC. Now it seems neither is working/supported/being developed? |
|
I don't think anything was actually promised. There was some prototype work done since RTVS project was ported to .NET Core anyway in order to support of Linux in Azure and Docker over remote. A prototype LS was implemented as a personal side project. That is about it. This is an open source project and external contributions are welcome. |

Mikhail, |

Just echoing @stegmueller's comments. VSC is a great platform. There are so many features that you gradually build a workflow for multiple languages. It would be great to use for R. RStudio is also great (and now has nice support for python including REPL). https://rstudio.github.io/reticulate/ Microsoft has widespread use of R https://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2018/02/what-does-microsoft-do-with-r.html. So, R support in VSC makes a bit of sense? @MikhailArkhipov I'm not sure the use of R vs Python extensions holds too much water if there isn't great R support in VSC. REPL support is the critical feature. |
|
Also would like to echo that R in VSC would be great - I've switched to writing basically everything in VSC (Python, ReStructured Text, LaTeX, Julia, even toying with C++/CUDA). Having (almost) the same interface for everything is great. The extension from @Ikuyadeu has most of the features already (big thanks to him!), I'll just stay with it for now (compiling this repo's extension from source is not really a solution as I don't have any js/ts experience). |
|
+1 - would love to be able to use this on a Mac. |

great work
would be nice to have RTVS work with VS Code and support non windows platform such as Mac.
Thanks,
M.
