Description

Describe the bug
When I open a folder with an accent such as "é" and work with a R script within the folder, the variables are not displayed in the R tab.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a folder with an accent
  2. Create an R script within
  3. Execute a line of code creating an object
  4. Go to the R tab

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

Yes, I just rename the folder

(If yes,) can we assist you with anything?

(If applicable) Please attach setting.json

// R.exe path for windows
"r.rterm.windows": "",

// R path for Mac OS X
"r.rterm.mac": "/usr/local/bin/R",

// R path for Linux
"r.rterm.linux": "/usr/bin/R",

// R command line options (i.e: --vanilla)
"r.rterm.option": [],

// An optional encoding to pass to R when executing the file, i.e. 'source(FILE, encoding=ENCODING)'
"r.source.encoding": "UTF-8",

// Keeping focus when running
"r.source.focus": "editor",

// Use active terminal for all commands, rather than creating a new R terminal
"r.alwaysUseActiveTerminal": false,

// Use bracketed paste mode
"r.bracketedPaste": false,

// Enable R session watcher
"r.sessionWatcher": true,

// Delay in milliseconds before sending each line to rterm (only applies if r.bracketedPaste is false)
"r.rtermSendDelay": 8,

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by creating an accented folder, running an R script that creates an object, and checking the R tab with the session watcher enabled. Start by tracing the R tab and session watcher behavior around the folder path; done means objects are displayed when the workspace path contains characters such as é.
