Also having this issue

For me it only applies to remove host, locally everything works. Also everything works using non-insiders version of VSC.

Tried reinstalling vscode-server on host, and reinstalling the vscode-R extension and disabling all other extensions. Same error.

[adamaltmejd]

Maybe found a hint as to why this happens now. Having both a code and a code-insiders windows open at the same time, running "?help" in the code-insiders terminal opens a help window in the code application instead. Is the help panel trying to call code rather than code-insiders when ran from code-insiders?

Still not working in the latest release of vscode 1.79.0 under remote.

@ManuelHentschel any thoughts?

Looks like fs.statSync(path, { throwIfNoEntry: false }) still raise exceptions?

[renkun-ken]

#1374 should fix the issue.

[as00419]

same problem as you. Was there a request.log file in ~/.vscode-R?
Every time when i typed ?xx in radian, this file updated, like:

{"time":"2023-06-09 16:36:43",
"pid":27240,
"wd":"/current/work/directory",
"command":"help",
"requestPath":"/library/base/html/mean.html",
"viewer":"Two"}

and the requestPath was invalid. will this help?
