Overview

About

Maintained by Kevin UsheyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Access the RStudio API (if available) and provide informative error messages when it's not.

Changes in 0.19.0

getDelegatedAzureToken() gains an as argument. With as = "AzureToken", the token is returned as an R6 object compatible with the AzureToken class from the AzureAuth package, so it can be passed directly to packages like AzureGraph and Microsoft365R. (rstudio/rstudio#17619)
getDelegatedAzureToken() now returns the same token shape in all IDEs: the relative expires_in field is converted to an absolute expires_at timestamp, matching what RStudio sessions already returned.
getMode() no longer fails on very old versions of RStudio that lack the internal .rs.isDesktop() helper. In that case, it now falls back to versionInfo()$mode, which has been available since RStudio 0.97.124. (#326)
Added showEditSuggestion() for displaying edit suggestions in the RStudio editor. The function takes a document range and suggested replacement text, allowing RStudio to present a visual diff that users can accept or dismiss.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("rstudioapi", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("rstudio/rstudioapi")

Development version from rstudio/rstudioapi. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rstudioapi

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-rstudioapi

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-rstudioapi

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
