rtvs-docs's Issues

Document potential AV software issues

Transfer of microsoft/RTVS#2027

Typing a source() command in a remote interactive session will not copy the referenced file to the server for execution

See microsoft/RTVS#2776 for details.

Need to document that "Source R Script" and "Source Selected Items" VS commands will take care of this for you, and that there's a separate command specifically to upload files that can be used with manual source() if needed.

Visual Studio 2017 support

Unfortunately data science workload have dropped from January release of VS2017 RC. Can we use RTVS with VS2017 ? I experienced better RTVS operation with VS2017RC than VS2015.

When will RTVS be released?

When will RTVS be released? So excited about it

Document timeout issue when SSL prompt appears

When the SSL message box comes up, the user has about 2-3 secs to read it and click yes. More than that, it will timeout and refuse to connect, but the user won't know why.

They have to try to connect again, and click Yes faster the next time.

In practice, every user that encounters that SSL dialog will fail to connect the first time, because it takes longer to read the whole message than the timeout allows.

Document manual configuration of interpreters

microsoft/RTVS#3361

In Microsoft.R.Host.Broker.json

“R” {
“AutoDetect”: true,
“Interpreters”: {
“Key1”: {
“Name1”: “BasePath1”
},
“Key2”: {
“Name2”: “BasePath2”
},
…
}
AutoDetect is the default setting and can be omitted. Key1, Key2 etc is what’ll go after # in the URL. Name is supposed to be descriptive.

Show case features and advantages over F# compared to R

Have an option show case featuring advantages of R over F#, show how F# is compiled and R is a scripting language and talk about when to use what.

Port of microsoft/RTVS#1256

Clarity of examples using MRS

One thing with MRS that confuses me is the separation of the client and the server. It appears all these examples run on an MRS node. I'd like to see clarification of that in the examples and perhaps a commented out section showing how to run it if it were to run it from a Windows and/or Linux client.
