Changelog

Unreleased

Bug Fixes

  • fix(rstudioapi): resolve emulation issues and viewer routing
  • fix(liveshare): resolve activation errors, file reading bugs, and add hooks for sess compatibility
  • fix(workspace): fix code submission delays when the workspace contains many or large objects

Features

  • feat(sess): migrate session watcher to WebSockets/JSON-RPC 2.0
  • feat: implement rstudioapi::showPrompt() and rstudioapi::askForPassword() for sess package
  • feat: evaluate params from YAML header in Rmd files before running code
  • feat: check sess package version and prompt for update
  • feat(session): implement file-based reconnection and suppress verbose logs
  • feat(plot): new r.plot.backend enum setting for finer-grained control of the preferred plotting backend, including integration with the lightweight jgd graphics device (default if installed). r.plot.useHttpgd is deprecated in favor of r.plot.backend; it remains supported for compatibility with existing configurations but will be removed in a future release.
  • feat(r-path): add r.executablePath as the canonical setting for vanilla R used by background processes and r.consolePath for the interactive R console. Both accept an absolute or substituted path, or a bare executable name available on PATH; for example, r.executablePath can be the bare vanilla executable name R, while r.consolePath can be arf (or radian). Path settings are resolved against the relevant workspace resource when one is available. When r.consolePath and the legacy r.rterm.<platform> setting are unset, an explicitly configured r.executablePath is also used for the console. The legacy r.rpath.<platform> settings never affect console selection. The legacy r.rpath.<platform> and r.rterm.<platform> settings are deprecated in favor of the canonical settings, remain supported for backward compatibility, and may be removed in a future release.
  • feat(dataview): keep one viewer per data name, refreshing the existing viewer on repeated View() calls
  • feat(dataview): load data rows on demand while scrolling, with support for Arrow and Polars DataFrames
  • feat(workspace): support recursive expansion of nested lists, environments, pairlists, S4 objects, and data frames

Performance

  • perf: optimize package monitoring in helpServer.R

Other

  • Remove the unused r.workspaceViewer.showObjectSize setting and obsolete object-size tooltip support
  • Remove obsolete r.session.objectLengthLimit, r.session.objectTimeout, and r.session.levelOfObjectDetail settings following the switch to on-demand workspace inspection
  • Remove r.helpPanel.rpath, which was previously deprecated and no longer used by the extension

Styling

  • style: fix line length lint error in sess/R/rstudioapi.R

Testing

  • test: implement comprehensive integration test suite and modernize CI
  • test: add Rmd params tests and cleanup test files
  • test(session): add retry logic for plot tests to avoid timeouts on Windows
  • test(session): add version check, retry logic, and fix lint warnings
