RStudio crashes when debugging

[atakanekiz]

Hello,

I updated my R to development version (to be able to use some packages developed with R 4.0.0 in mind). But since then I'm having a weird problem, I'm not sure how to make a reproducible example of. Any time I call debug on a function, and call that function for debugging, the RStudio sessions disconnects saying "R encountered a fatal error". In the grayed out console area the error message reads the following:

Error in (function (srcref) : unimplemented type (29) in 'eval'

This is true for debugging any functions (the ones I made or the ones offered by base R suh as mean function. When I try to use debugging in an R session (without RStudio) in terminal window, it seems to work suggesting there is something going on with the RStudio environment?

My machine runs Windows 10, and the r.version output is copied below:

Hi, I have the same issue on my Windows machine. The crash is very annoying and It can even occurs when loading a package, but this is not surprising since your are using "unstable" R. It seems like the problem is related to the incompatibility between R4.0 and Rstudio. The previous R version works fine with the same Rstudio.

I am also getting this issue. It is specific to RStudio.
I can debug fine on the command line.
I am using R-devel.

We're tracking this issue on the RStudio side here:

validate debugger works with incoming R 4.0.0 release

Update: we have fixed this issue. Please try the preview version, 1.2.5036-1 or newer, and let us know if it resolves the problem for you:

The update works for me when debugging.
Unfortunately, I am having issues with RStudio crashing, likely for other reasons.
This usually happens when I switch projects or start RStudio.
I've deleted my ~/.rstudio-desktop folder but it doesn't help.

I'm using:

Ubuntu Linux 19.10 (64-bit)
 - Graphics: NVE4
 - Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-33-generic
 - GNOME: 3.34.1
 - 16 Gb RAM
X.Org X Server Version: 1:7.7+19ubuntu12
R Version 4.0.0 r77629
RStudio Preview 1.2.5036-1

Confirming that I've had this issue with the current version of RStudio (1.2.5033) and with R-devel (2020-01-11 r77654), and that downloading the latest preview release of RStudio (1.2.5036) has resolved this issue for me.
