could not find function "is" error - several RStudio and R versions

[eric_f]

Hi,

Been battling this for the last 4 hours. The error appeared after I updates RStudio and R and then persisted across all combinations of the recent 2018-2019 versions of RStudio and R. The reproducible example below.
RSTudio version: Version 1.2.1522

R version 3.5.2 (2018-12-20) -- "Eggshell Igloo"

I also have a new mouse wheel scrollign problem in the new rstudio but that's a story for another post.

Would appreciate any help! Thank you!

Anybody?? This is clearly an RStudio error. I have the free version presumably without tech support. Should I reinstall the OS? Run debug tracing? I removed all files from %appdata% and let rstudio reinitialize them again and the error persists.

Thing I find confusing about this is you seem to run a standard release of R from r-project.org

R version 3.5.2 (2018-12-20) -- "Eggshell Igloo"

and then R Open from Microsoft on top of it.

Microsoft R Open 3.5.2

Is this normal?
