vscode-R VS httpuv

Oh - nice, thanks - so it looks like the interactive window is also possible, but not (yet) 'properly'/'officially' supported

See here.

That one covers most of it but the fuller wiki is here - which is linked in that one. Often, for open source software, it’s worth looking at the GitHub/GitLab pages for documentation / links to documentation.

Nothing worked, even setting env variables etc and even setting the knit command as stated in this thread in the VSCode settings: Cannot find pandoc VSCode knit

R works very well in vscode using the vscode-r extension.

If you haven't used it recently, the R VSCode extention is at a state now where's it's much faster and performant than VS Code, especially with the radian addon as noted in the repo.

I'm not an RMarkdown user, but I do know that almost all of my R in VSCode setup came from following the advice of RenKun, and one of his more recent blog posts on his recommended extensions for running R in VSCode included Live Preview as an alternative way for rendering large RMarkdown files in VSCode. See also here.

I would give vscode with the R extension a go sometime if you fancy trying something other than vim (but if you're happy with vim just be happy with vim!).

Personally I would look to vscode with the vscode-r extension. It’s really nice and one of its reasons for existence is making it easier to work with R instances on a server. See here.

Everybody uses the Yuki Ueda extension, so just go here and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

The app is served to the client (app user) through a host (Internet Protocol or IP address) and port number. The server then keeps a websocket connection open to receive requests. The R session behind the app will make sure this request translates into the desired interactivity and sends back the response, usually and updated object, like a plot or a table.
