RStudio crashes when loading XLConnect (latest install RStudio and R)

ErrantBard · May 12, 2022, 10:07am

I have recently upgraded both RStudio and base R (latest versions). Seems to have solved most issues but trying to launch the package XLConnect causes RStudio to crash. Works fine in Base R:

bug

When calling rJava::.jinit() in the RStudio console then RStudio shows the dialo…g "R Session Aborted" (R encountered a fatal error). This happens with R 4.2.0, but not with previous R versions. In plain R or when sourcing the command as local job in RStudio there is no error. ### System details RStudio Edition : Desktop RStudio Version : 2022.02.1 Build 461 OS Version : Windows 10 Pro, 21H2, 64 bit R Version : 4.2.0 (2022-04-22 ucrt, x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64) Java Version : 11.0.12 (Temurin - Eclipse Foundation amd64) ### Steps to reproduce the problem Start RStudio execute in the console: ``` install.packages("rJava") # if rJava is not installed yet rJava::.jinit() ``` Alternatives: - create a file `checkJava.R` that contains `rJava::.jinit()` - type `source("checkJava.R")` ### Describe the problem in detail When executing the code or sourcing it, RStudio reports that the R session aborted. ### Describe the behavior you expected R session should not crash. - [x] I have read the guide for [submitting good bug reports](https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/wiki/Writing-Good-Bug-Reports). - [x] I have installed the latest version of RStudio, and confirmed that the issue still persists. - [x] If I am reporting an RStudio crash, I have included a [diagnostics report](https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200321257-Running-a-Diagnostics-Report). - [x] I have done my best to include a minimal, self-contained set of instructions for consistently reproducing the issue.

You can try downloading the patched version of R 4.2

Ah - super, that will probably be the reason.

And it was - tried upgrading with the patched version, no problem with loading libraries anymore.
