Cannot display contextual help

Open kevinmcfarlane opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

E.g., help(cbind)

(or help on anything) gives "Warning message: In file(out, "wt") : cannot open file 'C:\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpKM5vZY\Rhttpd1084446a561e': No such file or directory"

This was working when I first installed R Tools.

Visual Studio 2017 is 15.5.6, Microsoft R client is 3.3.2.0.

How can I fix this?

I also see this issue when I have had a session open for a long time. A workaround is to "reset" the R session and save/re-load the current workspace when prompted.

For some reason it appears that something is "cleaning" up the temp folder even though it is still active.

Thanks Neil. I haven't tested the above specifically but I can confirm that opening my solution just now does not manifest the problem.
