Breakpoints in "Debug R-Package" are not loaded/hit

Describe the bug When debugging an R package by entering the path to the package folder structure, the breakpoints set within the files which are part of the package aren’t entered, i.e the program doesn’t always stop. The behaviour seems to be a bit random.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a folder containing the R package to debug in the folder structure.
2. Open the “launch.json” file and enter the path to the package in the entry “loadPackages” in the “Debug R-Package” entry in the json.
3. Click “Run” button in the debugger with the “Debug R-Package” option selected.
4. Use the debug console to call a function exported in the package.
5. If the program stops at a breakpoint set before, set a new breakpoint and press “F5”.
6. Not see your breakpoint get hit.

Your Launch config If applicable, the launch config that causes the bug. E.g.:

    {
        "type": "R-Debugger",
        "name": "Debug R-Package",
        "request": "launch",
        "debugMode": "workspace",
        "workingDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "includePackageScopes": true,
        "loadPackages": [
            "./apLCMS"
        ]
    }

Expected behavior Upon debugging the package, all breakpoints set are hit properly and stop program execution.

Actual behavior Some breakpoints are hit, some aren’t, some in other files than the one opened on startup are never hit.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows

I added a Vignette about breakpoints to the package (can be found e.g. here). If you encounter problems that do not match the behavior described there or would like to add your debugging routine, feel free to reopen this issue.

@kongdd I had the same error at some point and it was related to the version of the pkgload package (I think that was the name). So try seeing which version you are using.

- r-pkgload <= 1.2.4
