How do I know if my current IDE is Positron or RStudio

[chuxinyuan]

I am currently using Positron, but neither devtools::session_info() nor xfun::session_info() are currently giving me the correct IDE information.

I'm sure the landscape will change, but at this moment the POSITRON environment variable is probably your best bet:

is_positron <- function() {
  Sys.getenv("POSITRON") == "1"
}

is_positron()
#> [1] TRUE

Timely rain, thank you @jennybc
The version number information seems to be missing at the moment.

Sys.getenv("POSITRON_VERSION") can get the version number of Positron.
