Lintr errors whilst trying to lint staged / indexed files in git #1436
Description
Description of issue
It looks like the lintr is trying to execute on staged/indexed files in git but just errors when trying to do so. Worse still is that these errors end up littering the Problems pane and are never cleared up. Only solution seems to be to restart vscode

@Fred-Wu @eitsupi @grantmcdermott Is it fixed by REditorSupport/languageserver#706?
eitsupi commentedon Sep 27, 2026
My understanding is that this refers to a problem where false positives occur because things that aren't actual complete R files are being targeted by linting. It doesn't seem to be related to the fix for the languageserver.

This was addressed in #1697, which is merged into
mainand included in 3.0.0. The language client excludes Git-indexed documents from its document selectors and clears diagnostics for unsupported schemes such asgit://, as well as files that no longer exist. See the current diagnostic middleware.The suggested languageserver #706 concerns reading
.lintrsettings and addresses a different problem.Closing as completed. If Git-indexed diagnostics still appear with 3.0.1 or a current development build, please provide a minimal reproduction and the installed
languageserver/lintrversions so we can investigate the remaining case.
