Hi,

When I open the .R files (exercises/solutions), the R Studio shows blank R Script and workspace.

What can be the possible reason and solution for this?

Please help,

Thank You in Advance.

Answer 1

Hi Aakash, While in R studio, could you try to close the R scripts, and then reopen them again, using Open File? This might be due to some migration issue, if you'd like, you can read about it in more detail here: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/1623 Let me know if this helps. Best, Eli

It happens when you use Anaconda provided Rstudio. Please try to install Rstudio from its official site. Then the problem will be resolved.
URL for downloading Rstudio Desktop: https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/
before installing it you have to download R from URL: https://cran.r-project.org/
