Running R code on Windows throws Error: '\U' used without hex digits in character string starting "'C:\U"

[Jean-Michel Bodart]

Running SASjs studio dektop mode on windows
code: cat("Hello R\n")
log:

Error: '\U' used without hex digits in character string starting "'C:\U"
Execution halted

When running the generated code.r file in terminal, the following output seems to imply the error comes from non-doubling the back-slashes when setting the value of ._SASJS_WEBOUT_HEADERS:
