Hi,
In a file that used to work, when I now try to run some R code which
generates an image, I get the error:
cannot open file './usage_users_historical_facet.pdf'
If I check the working directory for the R session I see
getwd()
[1] "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess"
instead of the directory in which my org file is located.
I am now running Org 9.0.5 on Emacs 25.1.1. The last time things worked
I was definitely using an older version of Org and possibly Emacs 24.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Loris

Can I make a plea for an ECM? If you provide one, I can spend five
minutes testing it, but without it I'll have to do real work to get an
example together and that's much more unlikely to happen.

I agree with Nick on an ECM. Just to start the ball rolling:
M-x org-version
Org mode version 9.0.5 (release_9.0.5-288-g4caad0 @
/home/jwhendy/.elisp/org/lisp/)
$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 25.1.1
#+begin_src min-config
;; set load paths
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/contrib/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/ess/lisp/")
(require 'ess-site)
;; setup babel languages
(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((R . t)))
#+end_src
method:
- emacs -Q
- M-x load-file /path/to/min-config
- C-c C-c on both of these blocks and get the results as shown
;;;;;;;; file: ~/Desktop/test.org ;;;;;;;;;
* heading
#+begin_src R
getwd()

How does this go for you?

I've found that babel languages that start specific buffers that
persist (e.g. octave, gnuplot) will be started in a particular
directory based on a given org file. If subsequently another org file,
in a different directory, is visited, babel won't change the directory
for existing babel buffers (and probably cannot easily do so in some
cases?).

Thanks for doing most of the work for me. Unfortunately for me, the ECM
works fine, so I'm going to have to do some work myself and debug my
crufty old .emacs.
Thanks again,
Loris

Yes, it seems like this, I have a similar question at here:

I finally got round to bisecting my .emacs and worked out the sequence
of events which lead me to shooting myself in the foot:
1. Installed Emacs 25 under /usr/local
2. Discovered that Emacs 25 couldn't find the ESS stuff
3. Defined a variable 'ess-directory' to be "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/"
4. Used the variable in a function to add ESS to the load-path
It turns out that variable 'ess-directory' already exists and is, according
to the documentation, "the directory ESS is run from".
Thus renaming the variable 'ess-directory' to
'non-in-the-foot-shooting-ess-directory' solves the problem.
Cheers,
Loris
