Can't get R code completions/suggestions to work inside an {r} chunk of a .qmd file.
It looks like the quarto VSCode extension creates a .intellisense.r file (sometimes a .vdoc.r?), grabs completions from there through the REditorSupport extension then serve them in the current active quarto editor, creating then trashing the file on every request.
From the discussion in quarto-cli linked above, it seems like this file should be created in a nearby directory, but mine is being created at /tmp/tmp-*-*/r/ directory, and with no write permission to that root folder, the temporary file can't be deleted.
This means that I get 1 code completion right and after that no more until it decides to create the file in another tmp directory which happens when VSCode is restarted. Here is the debug logs from Output -> Window:
