Hi, great idea!
I’m using Windows 10. After pressing CTRL-R, my code chunk receives an ID, but the environment remains empty.

Can you share a screenshot? Most likely culprit is the path to your R install, but inhale only tested on Mac and Win11. I fyou know how to having a print or screenshot of the developer console with help tremendously.

Thanks, now is working.

I got a couple of problem to report:

  • broke right margin in callouts made with Admonition plugin

  • help window stay open in other plugin sidebar

Thanks! I can fix that margin fairly easily I think and I’ll get on the help window, trying to think what a good mechanism for closing it would be.

So I wasn’t familiar with the admonitions callout plugin, but I think a single css style change fixed things. Let me know if you have further issues!

I’m suddenly having a similar problem. I’ve been running R code in my Obsidian notes just fine with Ridian and now suddenly there is no output showing anymore when I click Run chunk, though a quarto label/ID still gets added to the chunk.

I see this error in the developer console:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: fe.updateEnvironmentData is not a function
at Socket.ce (plugin:ridian:209:2057)

It looks like it might be a genuine Ridian error. Was Ridian last updated a year ago? Is that normal for no updates in an entire year? I’m new to Obsidian, but not to R.
