I do not see R shell in bert

[rewoper]

I installed BERT , (i have windows 10 with excel 2016) all went ok . When i start the console It does not lauch the embedded R shell . so I cannot run script, etc..

I do have the same issue with BERT 2.3.1. The Shell does not show up. Nothing else is being displayed

Using BERT 2.2.1 works however.

System: Windows 7, V 6.1.7.1601 Excel O365

@stephansgit did you mean that 2.3.1 did not work, but 2.2.1 works?

[rewoper]

YES

[stephansgit]

Yes, 2.3.1 did not work, 2.2.1 works for me. (Typo in my original post, have corrected that)

I've the same problem with BERT 2.3.1 ... on my work PC with Excel 2010 there is neither a Julia (0.6.2) nor R shell. ControlR.exe and ControlJulia.exe are not executed or fail immediately upon Excel startup.

Version 2.3.0 works without problems.

System: Win10 Enterprise x64, version 1607 build 14393.2189

If anyone wants to help debug this, it would be helpful to know what the dev console log shows (in the console, Ctrl+Shift+I) when it fails.

@duncanwerner Just for your information: I just rechecked with the most recent 2.3.2 version ... ControlR.exe is definitely called and immediately terminated.

I'm not sure what you want to see from the dev console log, it's pretty much empty. No warnings or errors or stuff like that.

I think I may have figured this out. If anyone can try

https://github.com/sdllc/Basic-Excel-R-Toolkit/releases/tag/2.3.3

let me know what happens.

[leo-liar]

Yes, 2.3.3 restores the missing shells.

Thank you for the quick fix!

[duncanwerner]

Great, thanks. Somehow debug symbols were getting linked in the release builds. Not sure how that happened, but I know how to check for it now.
