Hi R Developers,
I have found what I think is a bug in the RScript.exe in version 3.5.0 of R for
Windows.
When I call Rscript.exe for Version 3.5 of R, it is unable to open the file if
the file name or path has a space in it.
As an example of what happens, I saved 2 files with the code:
cat("What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?")
as C:\foo bar.R and as C:\foo_bar.R
When I in a DOS command window try to run these using version 3.4.3 and 3.5:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo
bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin\x64\Rscript.exe"
"C:\foo_bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.0\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo
bar.R"
Fatal error: cannot open file 'C:\foo': No such file or directory
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.0\bin\x64\Rscript.exe"
"C:\foo_bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>
When I try to run the file with a space in the name in version 3.5.0 of R, there
is a fatal error saying there is no such file.

Thanks for the report. A quick workaround before this gets fixed is to add an extra first argument that has no space in it, e.g. Rscript --vanilla "foo bar.R" The problem exists on all systems, not just Windows.

Fixed in R-devel. I will port to R-patched after more testing. Tomas On 04/26/2018 01:52 AM, Tomas Kalibera wrote:> Thanks for the report.
