pkg dev: devel help page does not open #383

Open pat-s opened 3 years ago

pat-s commented 3 years ago

When developing a package and calling devtools::load_all() and afterwards trying to open the help page of a function, the webview does not open.

devtools::load_all()
?<fun>
Rendering development documentation for '<fun>'

does not work while

library(<pkg>)
?<fun>

works.

Thanks for reporting! I could reproduce this. It looks like this is caused by the development documentation is calling browser() with an html file while rendered documentation is calling browser() with an http web address.

Currently, the browser function vscode-R provides only works with a localhost http web address. And .vsc.viewer to view the htmlwidgets could be used to show such HTML file in a WebView as I tried, but all the paths in the HTML must be substituted with vscode-resource:// to work in WebView or the resource would not work.

And the theming does not look good under dark theme.

I'll think about this problem and see if we could find a nice solution. Suggestions are welcome.

This is actually quite the issue for me as I am currently reworking the documentation of a package and this makes it difficult to do that in vsc while it would be much easier in rstudio. I am not sure if I can contribute anything as far as a solution goes but I will have a look!

@renkun-ken Has there been any progress on this in the meantime?

@pat-s Does #1259 help resolve the problem? The help pages could show development version of help pages in an editor tab, just like help pages.

Nice, that sounds like a great solution!
