Did not receive a response from VSCode-R API within 5 seconds

Hi,

On an HPC SLURM compute node, I'm getting

r$> devtools::load_all()                                                                                                                                                                         
Error in request_response("rstudioapi", action = action, args = list(...)) : 
  Did not receive a response from VSCode-R API within 5 seconds.

I think the last change I made was to ~/.Rprofile, adding

Sys.setenv(TERM_PROGRAM = "vscode")

source(file.path(
    Sys.getenv(
        if (.Platform$OS.type == "windows") "USERPROFILE" else "HOME"
    ),
    ".vscode-R", "init.R"
))

Do you open your workspace via remote-ssh? If not, then you should not put the script in you ~/.Rprofile.

Yes, I'm using remote-ssh.

It works from the login node, but fails from an interactive slurm job.

It is a known limitation at the moment that if vscode-R extension is running on a server which does not have direct access to the filesystem where the interactive R terminal is started, then vscode-R session watcher won't work.

If I understand correctly then, vscode-R session watcher cannot be used on an HPC compute node (SLURM srun)? Setting "r.session.emulateRStudioAPI": false clears the error. Should I undo any other changes?

It seems that after the recent VS Code version update to 1.75.1 this is also affecting non-slurm nodes and gives the same error message on a regular remote ssh. The solution of setting r.session.emulateRStudioAPI to false appears to still work.

I'm currently having this issue. I haven't changed anything that I'm aware of.

vscode-r: v2.8.0

languageserver: 0.3.15

This is on my local machine. I'm not routing into any server.

This issue is stale because it has been open for 365 days with no activity.

I'm also having the same issue on a clean install following vscode-R setup guide,
when using devtools::build() on a local package (so no networking/virtualization)
This happens to me exclusively using radian, instead when using the default R terminal the command works as expected.
setting r.session.emulateRStudioAPI to false does fix the issue, allowing the command to succeed with radian as well.

REditorSupport.r v.2.8.4
radian v0.6.12se
R v4.4.0
languageserver 0.3.16

I also run into the same issue with the latest R version (v2.8.4). I downgraded to v2.8.1 and restarted R and it works for me now.

Also experiencing this on my local machine. Also only experience it when using radian.
