How to determine why R is not starting

[daan...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have used Nvim-R on Linux, and now I am trying to get it to work with Neovim on a Windows machine (on which I do not have admin rights).

I have installed the vimball without errors. When I open an R file with Neovim, it tells me it can't find the R path in the Windows Registry and tells me to set R_path. Then it says it can't find Rterm.exe. I then set R_path to a directory that contains Rterm.exe with let R_path="C:\\Users\\xxx\\R-3.5.2\\bin\\x64\\". If I then type "\rf" to start R nothing happens and no errors are shown. It seems the "\" is ignored, as whatever character is under the curser gets replaced with "f". :RStart gives a no editor command error. Yet, :scriptnames shows many R related scripts are loaded.

How do I get R to work with Neovim?

Thanks a million!

The last time I rebooted my computer on Windows was in October 2018. The plugin was working with Neovim, at that time, but GVim was more stable and bug-free on Windows than Neovim.
