Description
Describe the bug
I am trying to use R in VScode and I am getting below error message when I try to attach R in the active vscode terminal.
.vsc.attach()
Error in .vsc.attach() : could not find function ".vsc.attach"
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open VS Code session on Posit Workbench
- Install R extension for VSCode
- Open Terminal and Select "R Terminal"
- In the bottom of the page click "R: (not attached)"
- Now you will get the Error message like "Error in .vsc.attach() : could not find function ".vsc.attach""
Can you fix this issue by yourself? (We appreciate the help)
No
(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/local/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,

Start by reproducing the issue with the listed Posit Workbench, VS Code, R, and vscode-R setup, following the five reproduction steps.
