EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION after Rmd with Julia chunk knits to html

[JMLuther]

Getting this report after generating html from a very basic Rmarkdown file that includes a Julia code chunk- I am not sure if this is a JuliaCall, knitr or RStudio issue...but i think it could be related to JuliaCall knitr support. Possibly a clue- html document is actually generated fine- the document preview in RStudio that usually opens fails to appear. The code block runs interactively in Rmd without error. My example includes a plot- this error DOES still occur if just a very basic block is included (eg sqrt(2))

the warning is repeated many more times...same each time so just copied a couple

Using RStudio 2022.07.2 Build 576, which appears to bundle the most recent pandoc version 2.19.2 (2022-08-22)

Output created: basic-julia-rmd.html
Julia exit.

Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their entirety). Thanks.

using Plots
using RDatasets

scatter(mtcars.Disp, mtcars.MPG)

I'm also noting inconsistency in when the error occurs, even with same Rmd code. I tried with a simpler plot with generated data- no error on the first time I knit, but without any changes it does error.

using Plots
x = [1:1:10]
y = [101:1:110]
scatter(x, y)

updated to Julia 1.8.3, still get same error.

based on another reported issue in Rstudio and apparent workaround, I wonder if this is an Rstudio/pandoc compatability issue but I haven't had a chance to load an older pandoc version to try:

Since this error message occurs intermittently, I'm not entirely sure, but I think the error can be avoided by changing the julia_setup() command.

Add rebuilld = TRUE' to the setup command-julia_setup(JULIA_HOME = "...Programs/Julia-1.8.3/bin", rebuild = T) This doesn't add much time to the setup on my machine anyways.

I have run this several times and it no longer errors. Will close if this holds up.
