View(df) function error in Windows 10

[demillan]

Hi, I get an error when I try to execute the following code in VSCode integrated terminal:

View(iris)

The error is the same no matter I execute it in CMD or in the integrated terminal within VSCode.

This was tried running R version 3.4.3 (2017-11-30) -- "Kite-Eating Tree" in Windows 10.

But if I try:

plot(iris)

And then:

View(iris)

It works.

Error message:

I didn’t expect the View function to work at all. What surprising is that it works after plotting. Thanks for the report. I’ll need to set up the data viewer correctly (which I know it wasn’t)

[randy3k]

It is fixed with current master of rapi https://github.com/randy3k/rapi.

A release of rtichoke will be published soon.

v0.2.9 is released.

I'm using radian 0.4.4, but neither of View() nor plot() work at all. No window show up. Am I missing something?

[randy3k]

That's odd. By the way, how did you get it working at this screenshot?

[stevenlis]

@randy3k It doesn't work in this screenshot. plot() and View() only work if I double-click the R.exe at the folder C:\Program Files\R\R-3.6.1\bin\x64 and use that terminal.

Now I tried to delete that above path from my PATH variable and then it works.

[randy3k]

I believe that the screenshot was showing the radian prompt.

[stevenlis]

I believe that the screenshot was showing the radian prompt.

I launch cmd and then type radian to have the screenshot

[randy3k]

Let me see if I understand correctly, did you mean that View(mtcars) works if you launch radian from CMD.exe, but it doesn't work if you launch radian inside VSCode?

[stevenlis]

Now radian works as long as I don't add C:\Program Files\R\R-3.6.1\bin\x64 into my PATH variable

[randy3k]

Do you have multiple copies of R? Check radian --version.

[stevenlis]

I got

radian version: 0.4.4
r executable: C:\Users\liqia\Anaconda3\lib\R\bin\R
r version: 3.6.1
python executable: c:\users\liqia\anaconda3\python.exe
python version: 3.7.3

[randy3k]

So you have two copies of R, one copy in C:\Program Files\R\R-3.6.1 and another copy in C:\Users\liqia\Anaconda3\lib\R.

For some reason, the copy of R in C:\Program Files\R\R-3.6.1 is not working properly.

[stevenlis]

Indeed,
I just added C:\Program Files\R\R-3.6.1\bin\x64 and moved it to the top. and then View() no longer works. It seems like adding path variable causes the issue.
