Vscode R LSP cannot work with a R installed in conda env
Hello guys. I am using Vscode to work on R language for some data analyses. The r-base was installed in a conda environment. And I found that the R terminal cannot work with barely configuration of r.path.xx and r.term.xx pointing to the R.exe in conda env. But with the Python Addon, I can activate a conda env before I start a R terminal.
The R interperter itself can work prefectly after I Python: Select Interperter to configure which conda env to be use. But I found that the R Language Server seem to work independently and doesn’t influenced by the Python: Select Interperter. As the result, the R LSP launched without activating correct conda env and the R launched failed due to missing dll files. How can I launch the R LSP in a conda env?
By the way, I found that an r-base installed by conda cannot work without activating its conda env but a R installed by the CRAN R installer can be use at anywhere. It works even copy the whole directory to another PC. What makes this diffrence and can I make the conda r-base work in such a standalone mode?
It requires the dynamic (dll/so) of libblas, liblapack etc. shipped with conda in the system PATH, or can be found in some way.

OK, it works， thank you！
But I still find it a bit wired that in order to use a conda environment I need to write its path in the PATH instead of activating it somehow.
could you give some details? I add the dynamic (dll/so) of libblas, liblapack etc to my system PATH,but it couldn't work.This is my setting { "workbench.colorTheme": "Solarized Light", "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "C:\Users\34681\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python.exe", "fittencode.languagePreference.displayPreference": "zh-cn", "fittencode.languagePreference.commentPreference": "zh-cn", "extensions.experimental.affinity": { "asvetliakov.vscode-neovim": 1 }, "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false, "cursor.cpp.enablePartialAccepts": true, "files.associations": { ".rmd": "markdown" }, "r.workspaceViewer.removeHiddenItems": true, "r.workspaceViewer.showObjectSize": true, "r.plot.defaults.colorTheme": "vscode", "r.plot.useHttpgd": true, "r.rpath.windows": "D:\anaconda\envs\r-4.4.2\lib\R", "editor.largeFileOptimizations": false, "r.terminalPath": "C:\Program Files\R\R-4.4.2\bin\R.exe", "r.interpreterPath": "C:\Program Files\R\R-4.4.2\bin\R.exe", "[json]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" }, "workbench.editorAssociations": { ".json": "jsonGridViewer.json" }, "r.rterm.option": [ "--no-save", "--no-restore" ], "background.customImages": [], "r.rterm.windows": "D:\anaconda\envs\r-4.4.2\lib\R\bin\R.exe" "terminal.integrated.env.windows": { "R_HOME": "D:\anaconda\envs\r-4.4.2\lib\R" } } And this is my Path
And this is my error.
It indicates a missing DLL file or dependency issue when trying to run R.exe in VSCode
"r.rpath.windows": "D:\anaconda\envs\r-4.4.2\lib\R", "editor.largeFileOptimizations": false, "r.terminalPath": "C:\Program Files\R\R-4.4.2\bin\R.exe", "r.interpreterPath": "C:\Program Files\R\R-4.4.2\bin\R.exe",
I think here should be part of the problem.
Your r.rpath.windows is be the detail path to R.exe, for example E:\Program\miniforge3\envs\R-4.4.1\lib\R\bin\R.exe.
And I'm not quite sure if r.terminalPath and r.interpreterPath are valid configuration items, but they point to your R-4.4.2 installed by CRAN r-installer but not the one in conda env. Maybe you want to use r.rterm.windows?
According to my experience，missing DLL errors are caused by vscode tried to launch a R term in conda env without acitive the conda env first. You may get the same error when you tried to directly launch the R.exe in D:\anaconda\envs\r-4.4.2\lib\R\bin\R.exe when you are at base env.
You need to configure your conda path first. And pres shift+ctrl+P to open the vscode command search ,then find Python: Select Interpreter to select the correct conda env with r-base inside. Then the env should be activated and you R.exe can be launched.
