Rtmp files left in /tmp directory

[tabulez]

I'm having the same issue reported here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76425284/rtmp-files-remain-in-tmpdir-after-using-vscode-r-extension

Rtmp directories remain in /tmp unless I go in to manually delete them. With multiple users using vscode to SSH into a server to work interactively, Rtmp directories continue to compound. Is there a way to handle this without needing to go in and clear the Rtmp files manually?

Thanks!

To Reproduce

1. SSH into a remote server via putty and remove any existing Rtmp directories
2. With vscode, open test.R that has the line: print("hello world")
3. Close vscode after running the line. I noticed two new Rtmp directories in /tmp that remained.
4. In putty, run R, print("hello world") q(). No new Rtmp directories were added. Same happens if I use "Rscript test.R"
5. If I repeat step 2, I notice 2 new directories in /tmp are created that aren't removed after closing vscode.

Environment

• OS: Linux CentOS 7
• VSCode Version: 1.86
• R Version: 3.6.0
• vscode-R version: 2.8.2

I'm not sure. I don't see that I have Rscript* or calls to languageserver, but I have similar libloc and callr related files:

language server version = 0.3.16 callr = 3.7.3

It seems fixed here https://github.com/r-lib/callr/issues/104.

My point was the bug is not in vscode-r, but in language-server or callr Maybe a comment in callr issue would help to reopen the issue (or open a new one, becasue that issue is very old).
