nvimcom not loaded - solved

[daan...@gmail.com]

After my Linux Mint updated R from 3.3 to 3.4, Nvim-R had an issue. The problem was that nvimcom was not loaded. I solved this problem while writing this text describing the issue. I will post the text anyway so that it might help others.

R tells me

During startup - Warning messages:
1: In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, :
there is no package called ‘nvimcom’
2: package ‘nvimcom’ in options("defaultPackages") was not found

I can send individual lines of code to the console and also selected lines and functions etc. but sourcing the whole file fails:

> nvimcom:::source.and.clean("/home/daan/research/trend/R/trend.R.tmp.R", print.eval=TRUE)
Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘nvimcom’

Also, when I do ,rh on a function R says "ClientServer not running."

With every update of R I have to reinstall the packages which are installed in directories like ~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4. I would install nvimcom manually but at https://github.com/jalvesaq/nvimcom it says you shouldn't and that it will be installed or updated whenever necessary. It seems this is not the case on my system. I did a VundleUpdate which updated Nvim-R as is in the log:

I solved the problem by copying nvimcom from the old R packages folder to the new one:

cp -r ~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3/nvimcom/ ~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/nvimcom

This change was supposed to fix the issue:

https://github.com/jalvesaq/Nvim-R/commit/93da03132c13f97690e6f421d2f9524617837e9f

If it works well, nvimcom will be updated/installed whenever R version changes.
