Sending code to R GUI not working on M1 macOS Big Sur / R 4.1 alpha

[ltalluto]

Not entirely sure if this is a SendCode issue or an R issue. I am trying to get SendCode running on the R nightly build for M1 macs here.

SendCode works fine when sending to terminal or iTerm. However, sending to R GUI manages to launch R (if it is not running), but does not send any code. I am selecting the target by using "Choose Program" in the command palette, the settings look like this:

{
	"prog": "r",
	"r":
	{
		"bracketed_paste_mode": false,
		"prog": "r"
	}
}

Possibly related, when I change the program (e.g., from R to iTerm), SendCode stops working until I restart Sublime Text.

The settings look fine. Is there any error message in the sublime console?

[ltalluto]

Here are the steps to get this console message.

1. Package control: Choose program => R-IDE (R IDE is not running at this point)
2. Re-start Sublime (note that sending code at this point does nothing, no message, no response)
3. Cmd-return to send code. R GUI launches, but nothing else happens. No console message.
4. Quit R, at which point the following message appears

You may need to allow R in Accessibility.

Another thing that you could try is to open "Script Editor" and run

tell application "R" to cmd "print('hello')"

[ltalluto]

Interesting. Allowing R in accessibility has no effect. Running it in Script Editor directly works fine.

[ltalluto]

Some progress, maybe. Running:

osascript '/Users/mtalluto/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/SendCode/code_sender/r/r.applescript' 'print("hello")'

Directly from the command line pops up a warning from gatekeeper about allowing iTerm to control R. Allowing it then results in the command executing. In the automation tab in settings, Sublime has no checkbox for R, and I cannot find out how to enable it.

[randy3k]

Interesting, the following popped up the first time I sent code to R GUI.

And now, I have R under Sublime Text

[ltalluto]

I downgraded to R 4.0.5 (running under emulation), and it works exactly as expected. So maybe this is an issue with R? When I have a chance, I can try re-installing 4.1, now that it is released.

[ltalluto]

Well, now I've updated Sublime (to build 4107), and the situation is even worse; it no longer sends to R 4.0.5 anymore either. There is no listing for Sublime Text at all under automation. So is this a Sublime issue?

[fabeit]

It's not working for me either 4.2.1

Any solutions? Have the same issue, and it also doesn't show in Security & Privacy > Automation.
