Hi all,
I?ve noticed that a script with unmatched brackets of any sort will fail
silently in Rscript?neither logging nor any output in the shell indicates
that anything went wrong. Example file to run in Rscript:
sink('/tmp/exampleoutfile')
a <- 0
{
print(a)
Replacing the ?{? with any other symbol that must be matched (quotes,
parens, etc.) results in the same kind of silent failure. One workaround is
to use
echo "source('myscript.R')" | R --no-save --no-restore
from the command line but that?s a kludge. My apologies if this has been
brought up before, but doing a quick search I didn?t find anything, and to
me this seems like a significant bug.
Thanks & best,
Luke
