[r-apt][r-rig] Consider using pipx to install radian #162

Closed eitsupi closed 1 year ago

It seems that radian installation fails on the latest version of Debian.

Perhaps it would be easiest here to install radian via pipx?

Concerns about installing radian via pipx:

Right now we are unable to open an R terminal in our codespace while using "image": "ghcr.io/rocker-org/devcontainer/r-ver:4.2", and I think it could be due to this issue. Do you have a workaround, or would it be possible to switch the R terminal to the default and not radian until the radian install issue is fixed?

Thanks!!

I don't think this is related to this. Please open a new issue to the base image's repo and provide more info. (I can't guess what "unable to open an R terminal" mean)

@ChristineStawitz-NOAA I created a Codespace on https://github.com/eitsupi/prqlr and was able to reproduce that. This is due to the fact that the VSCode extension is not loaded when Codespaces start, and it has nothing to do with this Feature or vscode-R (please check that JS Debugger does not work as well).

In other words, it is a Codespaces issue. The workaround is to reload the window from the command palette.

Thanks for the update, I was able to fix it by reloading the window.
