Rstudio server crashes when debugging runSimulation() about simdesign

[philchalmers]

I suspect this is just a server configuration issue as there's nothing special about SimDesigns debugging setup outside of standard R practice. The error message that you're reporting also doesn't seem to be originating from SimDesign.

Do you encounter similar problems with simple debugging, such as when running

myfun <- function(x) x + 1
debug(myfun)
myfun(1)

Note that I also just tested your code on my Rstudio server and it seems to run fine (browser mode opens correctly for interactive debuggin).

Thank you for your swift reply.

I tried your code on the server (which has R version 4.1.1) and it also gave the same error.

I then tried it on an Rstudio server with R version 3.6.3 and there it does work.

Given this information, would you say this is an server configuration issue? In that case, I will contact the manufacturers of the Rstudio server that I am currently using and we could close this issue.

[philchalmers]

Yes it's on the server side if it's occurring with standard function debugging, so the rstudio maintainers will have better luck fixing this.

Thank you for your assistance, I will contact them.
