Sometimes when working on a remote machine when I flag an R function for debugging (using e.g. ess-debug-flag-for-debugging) and then run the function, I get an error such as error in process filter: ess-r-package-source-dirs: Opening directory: No such file or directory, /share/projects/P0025, and the tracebug visual debugging tools don't work (although the usual R debugger is still functional). The stack trace looks like the following.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-missing "Opening directory" "No such file or directory" "/share/projects/P0025")
  directory-files-and-attributes("/share/projects/P0025" t "\\`[^.]")
  ess-r-package-source-dirs()
  ess--dbg-find-buffer("/share/projects/P0025/R/analy-utils.R")
  ess--dbg-create-ref-marker("/share/projects/P0025/R/analy-utils.R" "8" nil)
  ess--dbg-goto-ref(inferior-ess-mode "/share/projects/P0025/R/analy-utils.R" "8" nil)
  apply(ess--dbg-goto-ref inferior-ess-mode ("/share/projects/P0025/R/analy-utils.R" "8" nil))
  ess--dbg-goto-last-ref-and-mark(#<buffer  *ess.dbg.R:2*> inferior-ess-mode)
  inferior-ess-tracebug-output-filter(#<process R:2> "debugging in: create_target_subgroup_nms()\ndebug at /share/projects/P0025/R/analy-utils.R#8: {\n    target_nms <- create_target_nms()\n    subgroup_nms <- c(\"full\", \"agegt75\", \"recentfrac\", \"beforeoct2015\", \n        \"afteroct2015\")\n    subgroup_regexes <- setNames(paste0(\"analybase_\", subgroup_nms), \n        subgroup_nms)\n    map(.x = subgroup_regexes, .f = grep, x = target_nms, value = TRUE)\n}\n")

I believe that this error is a result of some confusion between strings specifying remote and local paths. In ess-r-package-source-dirs, the value of pkg-root is assigned to a string providing a local path for the project root (as determined by ess-r-package-info). Then when the directory-files-and-attributes function takes this path as an input it looks for the directory on the local machine and if it doesn't exist then it throws an error.
