Updated RStudio, now all RMDs are blank

[salsarita]

Error Information:

Description of issue -
Updated RStudio (RStudio-2022.07.2-576.) and now when I open my rmd files they appear blank (the code that used to be in them it is not there anymore). This was also an issue with "old" R scripts, when I open them they are "blank"
ETA - It seems like the "blank" rmd's are those that are older than a year. Any ideas?

Steps taken so far -

I tried using this fix (Tools > Global Options> Code > Saving > UTF-8), but didn't work.

What happens if you open a .rmd fIile in a text editor such as gedit or Notepad?

@salsarita We've seen a couple of similar issues in the past, but that was were on Windows, so they might not be the same. Are you saving on a local or remote/shared drive?

(The other issues were 1623 and 11206, if you're curious.]

I figured it out, it was the shared drive it was not connecting/downloading the file so when I opened it it was blank. Once I fixed the shared drive situation it was fine! Should have updated my bad!

No problem—I'm glad it worked out!
