rstudioapi shims not working

[olivroy]

IIUC from #2605, many rstudioapi functions should work.

However, I am unable to access any of them.

For example, running rstudioapi::getSourceEditorContext() in the Positron R console yields an error message RStudio not running.

I am using the User Setup on Windows (latest release)

I wonder if I understood something wrong, or if there is a bug somewhere.

I am able to run rstudioapi::getSourceEditorContext() on both Mac and Windows without any problems with Positron 2024.10.0 build 14:

Can you share a bit more about what you are seeing? What happens if you run .rs.api.getSourceEditorContext() directly in Positron?

Thanks for taking a look. .rs.api.getSourceEditorContext() works. But rstudioapi::getSourceEditorContext() errors like so:

Just to confirm, rstudioapi::isAvailable() returns FALSE for you in Positron?

[olivroy]

Indeed!

I opened #4976 to track and prioritize this bug. Thank you again!

Thanks! Will close discussion
