Loading `rflsgen` from RStudio crashes R session

[CeresBarros]

Hi there,

I've been trying to use rflsgen from RStudio but when I try to load it, it crashes the R session. I've noticed that this doesn't happen when the package is loaded from an R terminal window, so presumably there's some issue with RStudio itself?

What I've tried:

• updating RStudio
• Resetting RStudio's state (https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200534577-Resetting-RStudio-Desktop-s-State)
• installing rflsgen from GitHub
• loading rflsgen dependencies first (i.e. rJava, terra and jsonlite) and only then rflsgen -- note that each of the dependencies loads fine.
• updating Java for Windows from here and then setting env variable $JAVA_HOME to point to the updated Java location (as shown here)

I'm out of ideas as to what may be the problem or the solution :/ and unfortunately I have to be able to use RStudio as I rely on it for project and package development/management a lot.

Thanks in advance for your help

Oh, I think I've made some progress, the issue may be with rJava after all:

and possible related to this: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/11076

I can confirm that updating R to R version 4.2.2 beta (2022-10-20 r83147 ucrt) solves this issue. Apologies for bothering you :)
