Description

The variable inspector doesn't seem to work while using Jupyter notebook with a conda environment and a R kernel, is it a problem with my machine and my setup or is it a problem regarding compatibility between the two softwares? The problem occurs only with .ipynb files, not with normal .R files.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the variable inspector failure in a .ipynb file with a conda environment and an R kernel, then compare it with a normal .R file where the inspector works. Trace the VS Code R extension's variable-inspector and notebook integration entry points; done means the inspector works in this setup or the compatibility limitation is clearly documented.
