Thanks a lot for your answer!
------------------------------test1 <- function(a, b, c) { x <- as.list(environment()) print ("hi from test1!") test2(a = a, b = b, c = c)You are rying to pass a, b, c here and hence R tries to insert those into the environment of test2 once it is called, you have not passed arguments to your test1 call. Uwe Ligges
I am aware that I am passing non existing arguments here, which is why my method of creating a list of the environment "as.list(environment())" seems to fail in this case.
What I need is a way to just skip non existing objects when I create my list. In my given example I was intending to receive an empty list, since no valid arguments were passed to test2().
In other words: I want a list containing all _existing_ variable/value combinations and just skip the missing ones.
