I searched for nchar(homeDir) in the R source code and on CRAN (as indexed by GitHub), and the only CRAN match was probably unrelated (in the ibmdbR package). There's also a few matches in the RStudio source code: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/blob/3742521ab2e67528090358a42d9f13933f4400df/src/cpp/session/modules/SessionPackages.R A search of "nchar(homeDir)" on RStudio website gives a lot of seemingly relevant results. However, I don't see them doing anything obviously wrong. This could be related to stricter handling of invalid strings that was recently improved in R: https://blog.r-project.org/2022/10/10/improvements-in-handling-bytes-encoding/ What does path.expand("~/") return on your machine? What is Encoding(.) of the value? What are its actual byte values, i.e. charToRaw(.)? What is your sessionInfo()? -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
