RQGIS3 chrashed my RStudio session

[Robinlovelace]

Reporting as it has happened twice and seems to be reproducible. I followed the README on 18.04 with the following results:

Session info below. Thinking it may be an issue with my setup. Regardless, QGIS3 should never cause RStudio to crash (could also be an RStudio issue):

I'm on RStudio 1.2.1326 btw,

Also crashed on the latest version of RStudio, just installed.

Amazingly, it runs fine when not in RStudio. I seem to recall this issue in previous conversations with @jannes-m:

Another example, from a terminal this time:

I can reproduce this behavior. Also running on Ubuntu 18.04-LTS.

It seems hard to debug. @jannes-m am I right in thinking that your recommended work-around is to use our docker image? I recall we added QGIS to a version of the Dockerfile, the main one IIRC.

[jannes-m]

Yes, RQGIS3 and Rstudio work in harmony in the geocompr Docker image and under Windows. Another way would be to use R from the cli.

Hello @jannes-m, I did not want to create a new issue for this because it is probably very straightforward but I am unable to move forward. I could find help anywhere else hence asking the question here so sorry for the hassle.
My issue is that I am unable to install RQGIS3 on my machine. First it asked me to install Rtools which I did and then I tried a number of ways to try and install RQGIS3 but it says that the plugin doesn't exist.
I don't remember facing this issue whilst installing/working with RQGIS (older plugin). For reference, I am using a Windows 10 64 bit machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Robinlovelace]

Can you install Docker? That is an alternative way to get it working.

[vaibhavgupta13]

Thanks @Robinlovelace , I managed to somehow get it to install. Let's see if I'm able to get it to work finally. :)
