Unable to get languageserver working on coder code-server RHEL 8.10

I'm unable to get languageserver to work on our work envrionment. We are running rhel 8.10 and have setup the code-server version of vscode provided by coder. Environments are managed through anaconda.

For R I have done the following steps:

• Created a conda environment
• Install the "languageserver" package to the environment via CRAN (version 0.3.16).
• Install the R extension from REditorSupport
• Install other R packages (e.g. dbscan, tidyverse)
• Created an R file similar to the hdbscan vignette

There is no auto-complete as I would expect, and after a few minutes the R language server fails with this error:

R Language Server (-1) started

Error Client R Language Server: connection is erroring

Server initialization failed. Message: Pending response rejected since connection got disposed.

R Language Server client: couldn't create connection to server

I have tried:

• Reinstalling extensions
• Recreating anaconda environments

Nothing seems to be working for R. I have Pyright installed for Python which seems to be working, minus the syntax highlighting.

Start by reproducing the R Language Server initialization failure in code-server on RHEL 8.10 with the reported conda environment, languageserver 0.3.16, and R extension. Check the client log showing the disposed connection and compare the setup with the working Pyright installation. Done means R autocomplete works and the language server remains connected.
