Type error : Cannot read property 'python' of null

I have installed the recent R version 4.2.1, rtools version 42 and recent R Studio version. But after installing all these in my system. When I am trying to open the new project, it will show the following error, Type error: Cannot read property 'python' of null. I don't know how to set path for this version of R and in the new features of R 4.2.1 webpage, they have mentioned that no need of setting the path from the user. So please help how to fix this error.

Solution

  • In my case the issue was tied to the new Quarto publishing platform on win 11.

    I was able to fix it by installing Python and reinstalling Quarto to a path that had no empty space, e.g. "C:\Quarto". Installation in "C:\Program Files" was causing issues.
