Problems in Windows cmd (?)

HI. Thank you . I don0t know if it fits for an issue, but I'm having trouble to have different R versions in different RStudio windows. When I use rig rstudio 4.1.2, then when I use rig rstudio 4.2.3 it does not open another Rstudio with the rstudio 4.2.3: it simply does nothing afterwards

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> rig rstudio 4.0.2
rig : [0m[34m[INFO] [0mRunning cmd.exe /c start /b rstudio /d C:\WINDOWS\system32

@FONDECYTACC It seems like the ANSI sequences are not handled properly by your terminal. Which terminal are you using? Try setting the NO_COLOR=1 environment variable:

In cmd.exe:

set NO_COLOR=1
rig rstudio 4.0.2

In powershell:

$env:NO_COLOR="1"
rig rstudio 4.0.2

Hi,

I tried opening from cmd.exe and I got the same results. Once 4.0.2 opens, 4.1.2 does not. The same happens if I do it viceversa

Once I open an RStudio session in Windows 10, I cannot display another one. I must set "rig default 4.1.2" and then click the Rstudio symbol to open another session with a different R version. Even if I try to run "rig rstudio 4.1.2" twice, the expected second window does not display, no matter if it is in powershell or cmd

RStudio 2023.06.2+561 "Mountain Hydrangea" Release (de44a3118f7963972e24a78b7a1ad48b4be8a217, 2023-08-25) for windows Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) RStudio/2023.06.2+561 Chrome/110.0.5481.208 Electron/23.3.0 Safari/537.36

OK, I see this now as well. It is because rig now adds /d to the command line, to keep the working directory, but this somehow makes RStudio not to start a new instance. If you call the command manually and omit the /d flag, then it works:

cmd.exe /c start /b rstudio

I don't know if there is a way to both keep the working directory and also start a multiple instances, but the current behavior is definitely worse than the previous one, so I consider this a bug.

Also if I play "rig rstudio 4.1.2" and then "cmd.exe /c start /b rstudio" in cmd, i get the r version that i wanted

[gaborcsardi]

@AGSCL Yeah, rig rstudio 4.1.2 changed the default to 4.1.2 for RStudio, so if you then omit the /d then it'll work. /d is causing the issue here.

This should be solved by the recent rig rstudio changes. Will be released soon. Please reopen this issue if you still have problems. Thanks!
