Hi all,
I just updated R to version 3.6 and I have the latest version of RStudio 1.2.1335. I'm running on a Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 and I never had any major issues with it - until this R update.
Essentially, running the default rmarkdown document with the following chunk:
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
will lead RStudio to crash, printing repeatedly on the console the error message:
Error: option error has NULL value
Error: option error has NULL value
Error: option error has NULL value
Error: option error has NULL value
(repeat ad nauseam)
So, my google fu returned the following issue on GitHub:
which basically points out that there might be an issue with .Rprofile. Apparently there is some bug with error handling, in that a line options(error = ) is causing trouble, and deleting that line fixes the problem.
The thing is, my .Rprofile is empty, I don't have one in my project, nor in my home directory, nor in R HOME. So I can't delete what doesn't exist.
If I add a line with some error handling option sure thing, I get the same error as referenced in the GitHub issue. Not very helpful.
The solution suggested,
A temporary workaround is to set
rstudio.errors.suppressedtoFALSEin your.Rprofileas well.
doesn't work for me either, unless this involves something different than a line like
options(rstudio.errors.suppressed = FALSE)
on .Rprofile.
So I am at a loss on what to do, other than revert back to R 3.5.3 and wait for patch 3.6.1.
