Feature request: support the QGIS R Console plugin

[lstrtstr]

Unfortunately, this package doesn't work in the QGIS R Console plugin.

My test script
/home/username/R/test/test.R

contains

this.path::here()
this.path::this.path()
this.path::this.dir()

Running it in the plugin returns:

> this.path::here()
[1] "/home/username/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/r_console"
> this.path::this.path()
[1] "/home/username/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/r_console/main.R"
> this.path::this.dir()
[1] "/home/username/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/r_console"

Which, I guess, is probably the plugin's fault.
Should I report the issue over there?

Hiya!

I checked out QGIS and the R Console plugin. This is not the plugin's fault, it's just that my R package and their QGIS plugin are not configured to work together. There are 2 ways forward

1. the developer of the R Console plugin could call set.gui.path() in order to register the GUI in use. But first, I would have to add a new argument to the function in order to get it fully working.

2. the developer of the R Console plugin could make a function, similar to .rs.api.getSourceEditorContext() in RStudio, that would return the relevant information about the document open, and then in my R package I would need to detect the usage of this GUI and call said function when requested.

I'd prefer the second, but we'll see what the QGIS R Console plugin developer thinks. I'll try to get in contact with them soon.

Regards,
Iris
