Theme will not import in Rstudio Daily Build

[renekyewski]

Hi there, I get a error when I try to add your theme:

In the console I get: Error in regexpr(pattern, text, ignore.case = ignore.case, useBytes = useBytes, : invalid input '

Using RStduio 1.2.1327 on Windows 10.

Thanks

Hi @renekyewski,

Have you tried installing any other RStudio themes? There are some in the repos at this link: https://github.com/topics/rstudio-theme

You could download any of the .tmThemes here and see if they import for you: https://tmtheme-editor.herokuapp.com/#!/editor/theme/Atom%20Dark

I haven't changed anything in quite some time, so it might be an IDE issue, and not one I can fix on my end. (@MariaSemple – do you have any hints?)

You can also try importing the tmtheme file instead.

FWIW, I was able to import a different .rstheme file in the latest Preview build.

That was a fast reply :)

The Atom Theme with the link you sent me imported fine. Yours also does not work as the tmtheme file. This time giving me a different error:

Hmm… It's possible it's an encoding error (I'm on a Mac – don't have Windows to test). I just made a duplicate and imported it which worked fine (I'm using 1.2.1326, not .1327, but it would surprise me if that's the difference). Here's the dummy theme: https://gist.github.com/batpigandme/d84e1535f31c848f5902d4f0cfd9839b

What happens if you copy the text, and paste it into a file in a text editor? (Just save as <whateveryouwant>.rstheme).

Hmm, and that's a different error with the .tmtheme — I have no clue what Specification mandate value for attribute data-pjax-transient [41] means, but maybe that'll be a clue. 🤔

Manually pasting it and creating a new file did the job. Thanks for your help.

Awesome! I have zero clue why, but I'm glad it worked! 🎉
