Description

Describe the bug
conda installed packages are not found;
not possible to attach active terminal session.

To Reproduce

Use following environment file to install R

---
name: r
channels:
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - r-base
  - r-renv
  - r-languageserver
  - r-httpgd
  - radian

and run

conda create -f environment.yml

to install the environment.

Ensure the settings as mentioned below.

Next clikc on R: (not attached) in the status bar in VSCode and get the error

The terminal process "<path to base>/.conda/envs/r/bin/radian '--no-save', '--no-restore'" terminated with exit code: 1.

Can you fix this issue by yourself? (We appreciate the help)

No

(If applicable) Please attach setting.json

"r.rpath.linux": "<path to base>/.conda/envs/r/bin/R",
"r.rterm.linux": "<path to base>/.conda/envs/r/bin/radian",

"r.libPaths": ["<path to base>/.conda/envs/r/lib/R/library"],

Expected behavior
Terminal should attach

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: macOS 14.2.1 with vscode server on rocky 8.6

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the provided environment.yml and the listed r.rpath.linux, r.rterm.linux, and r.libPaths settings, then inspect how the extension attaches the active terminal. Compare the behavior with the linked session-watcher and radian issues. Done means the conda-installed R environment can attach its terminal without exit code 1.
