Bus Error on Radian Launch

[eyayaw]

I think the error occurs on L22 in init.R of vscode-r:

https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/blob/70e3267c88052c8f299363719c18c776bdab139c/R/session/init.R#L22

Radian version

```sh > radian --version radian version: 0.6.7 r executable: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R r version: 4.3.1 python executable: /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/bin/python3.11 python version: 3.11.6 ```

[MikeLydeamore]

I get the same error but specifically with the usethis package when I type usethis::. The error for me only occurs if I am in a renv session. If I use renv::deactivate(), the error goes away.

Radian version:

radian version: 0.6.7
r executable: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R
r version: 4.3.0
python executable: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3.11
python version: 3.11.3

Other packages work fine with the namespace, and usethis works fine in the base R console (with renv). I am using vscode-R.

For me, it is happening in a non-renv environment.

I can also replicate this behaviour with these radian specs:

radian version: 0.6.3
r executable: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-arm64/Resources/bin/R
r version: 4.3.1
python executable: /Users/samalbers/mambaforge/bin/python3.9
python version: 3.9.16

A couple of observations:

• If I try to create a R session in vscode in a non-renv environment (via the command palette) I get the same error as @eyayaw in the console. I also get this error from vscode:

  The terminal process "/Users/samalbers/mambaforge/bin/radian '--no-save', '--no-restore', '--r-binary=/usr/local/bin/R'" terminated with exit code: 71.

  I can, however, launch radian and R from the terminal and it works as normal. I can also initiate an renv project - however some packages will then throw the same error as above.

  Adding this line: R_PROFILE_USER=~/.Rprofile to my .Renviron file as suggested here allows us to start R but then the existing renv environments are not enabled.

  I also have these settings in vs-code:

   "r.bracketedPaste": true,
  "r.rterm.mac": "/Users/samalbers/mambaforge/bin/radian",
  "r.rpath.mac": "/usr/local/bin/R", 
  "r.rterm.option": [
      "--no-save",
      "--no-restore",
      "--r-binary=/usr/local/bin/R"
  ],

[aswansyahputra]

It's also happening to me, either in {renv} or non -{renv} session and either in plain terminal or vscode terminal. Here is the screenshoot when I run radian in regular terminal with no {renv} activated:

[DivadNojnarg]

I also confirm the same issue (non renv) with radian on the M2 Mac. I don't have this issue on my old intel based Mac.

[boshek]

Update: this isn't a great workaround as you can't send code from the editor to the terminal out of the box.

~One workaround that worked for me as to stop using radian as my default R terminal in vscode. So change the user settings to be something like this (on a mac):~

 "r.rterm.mac": "/usr/local/bin/R",

~Not an actual solution because radian is so awesome and I don't want to stop using it but at least this unblocked me. I had thought this was a vscode-R issue but now I'm not so sure.~

I think this is a radian issue - I'm experiencing the caught bus error by using radian in the terminal with no VS Code involved. The error happens when I try to load a package with library.

This is a radian error.

It does not happen with R alone, but it does happen with Radian

It occurs when loading packages. For me, it happens with packages pdftools, qpdf, rJava, tabulizer, tablulizerjars

These are all packages that I installed this morning. Packages I installed over the last 4 months still work.

I installed a new Python version yesterday (from python.org), v3.12.0, but radian has been and is running under asdf python version 3.11.3 previously.

It still crashes if I reinstall the R packages under radian or reinstall under standalone R session

It still crashes after uninstalling and reinstalling radian, using both pip and pipx

I love radian! Hope this helps

There is a high chance that the python c runtime and R c time has some collision. You will have a better chance of success if you install both R and python using the same environment.

It's also happening to me, either in {renv} or non -{renv} session and either in plain terminal or vscode terminal. Here is the screenshoot when I run radian in regular terminal with no {renv} activated:

@aswansyahputra how did you install R? Since you are using homebrew python, please make sure that you are also using homebrew R.

[randy3k]

I just tried radian with homebrew python and the official arm64 R on M2 mac. Everything is working fine..

[randy3k]

Ai, maybe it is not obvious enough, please make sure that both python, R and R packages are arm64.

[aswansyahputra]

@aswansyahputra how did you install R? Since you are using homebrew python, please make sure that you are also using homebrew R.

@randy3k I downloaded and installed the R binary from the official page (I also have R installed in my other machine installed using rig), unfortunately the problem also happening there.

Here some additional infos:

[eyayaw]

Ai, maybe it is not obvious enough, please make sure that both python, R and R packages are arm64.

Unfortunately, that does not work on my m2. I tried with the homebrew python and r (brew install --cask r) and the official arm64 r.

[psanker]

I just tested @randy3k's statement about Homebrew R and Python being the same. I was having this issue when I had the Homebrew cask, but when I installed from the Homebrew formula, the error seems to have disappeared. I recommend others try this out. If your R executable (in $(brew --prefix)/bin) points to /Library/Frameworks/R.framework..., you have the cask installed. Try brew uninstall --cask r && brew install r.

I was running into the issue when radian would look for the exported members for autocompletion, specifically with cmdstanr. I thought that since cmdstanr has an external dependency it was the issue, but then rmarkdown had a problem. I wonder if there's some relationship to external libraries that could be hosing the dylib lookup?

This has the assumption that your Python is managed by Homebrew as well!

[dewoller]

Thank everyone, but especially @psanker 's last comment. My problem was that I was using the R install from R foundation. Uninstalling that, and brew install r fixed my problem. Radian, I am coming home!

[LeeMendelowitz]

What if I want to use radian on MacOS with pyenv and rig, which enables using multiple versions of Python and R? I use pyenv to compile and install Python and rig to maintain multiple versions of R.

I need to support multiple versions of Python and R for my projects and it would be great to find a way to be able to leverage radian in these situations.

[psanker]

From the rchitect FAQ, it looks like you'll need to manually set the R_HOME environment variable and ensure that whatever installs R also includes libR.dylib. Since most of the users here seem to be macOS users, perhaps that's installed in an unexpected location in most cases?

Looking at the source, rchitect looks at $R_HOME/lib/libR.dylib. However, since this happens intermittently, perhaps there something else going on.

Setting R_HOME to point to R 4.3.1 installed using rig does not fix the problem for me. @randy3k any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Here is an example loading dplyr from R 4.3.1 in rig. R_HOME is: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-arm64/Resources. Everything works.

Setting R_HOME also did not do the trick for me. And using Homebrew R isn't really a solution because (last I checked) it prevents the use of CRAN binary packages.

If it helps give any clues: reinstalling problematic packages from source makes the issue goes away (e.g., using renv, renv::install("dplyr", type = "source") — but there were other packages, like httpuv). But this is too time-consuming across multiple projects to be a real solution, and identifying the culprit packages doesn't seem entirely trivial, esp with many projects that are using renv.

[changhongjie]

fwiw (in case someone else ends up in this dead thread) - coming from CRAN's R and VS Code, adding the below solution in the .Rprofile seems to have finally solved it for me:

source(file.path(Sys.getenv(
   if (.Platform$OS.type == "windows") "USERPROFILE" else "HOME"
 ), ".vscode-R", "init.R"))

See https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/issues/1094 Homebrew R worked for me previously, but isn't great as I have to install packages from source every time which is awful with {renv}.

Thanks @changhongjie - ultimately this didn't fix this for me either.

I had the same issue, and finally got it to work. After uninstalling radian (and trying a bunch of other things) I did the following:

• brew install python@3.12
• brew install python@3.13
• brew install r

Check if the homebrew versions are used (not sure if that's relevant, but that's what I did):

• which python3 and which r

Change my ~/.zshrc file (only added the last two lines):

# Created by `pipx`
export PATH="$PATH:/Users/USERNAME/.local/bin"

fpath+=~/.zfunc
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

if type brew &>/dev/null
then
  FPATH="$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions:${FPATH}"

  autoload -Uz compinit
  compinit
fi

# ADDED
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH"

And finally:

• brew install pipx
• pipx install radian

And it works! I don't know why, I don't know how, but I figured I'd share what worked for me.
