Research direction

Start at the selectFile() entry point and reproduce the issue on Mac with filter="", ".R", and "*.csv". Confirm that filtered selections open the dialog and return the selected file rather than immediately returning NULL.

Description

selectFile() or selectFile(filter = "*") seems to work fine on Mac. However, when the filter is set to *.R or *.csv no file dialog is opened and NULL is returned right away. Using the current preview version of Rstudio

rstudioapi::selectFile(filter = "*.csv")
NULL
