Dear R-users,
I used to give commands such as:
source(file="~/path/to/file.R", chdir=TRUE)
but with the latest v. 2.1.0 it does not seem to work anymore.
I tried to figure out what it was going on and it seems that the string
for which
class(file)
[1] "character"
is changed to
class(file)
[1] "file" "connection"
when the connection is open by
file <- file(file, "r", encoding = encoding)
But this force the following if statement
if (chdir && is.character(file) && (path <- dirname(file)) != ".")
{ owd <- getwd()
on.exit(setwd(owd))
setwd(path)
}
to be FALSE and then non changing of current directory is done.
Is this the desired behavior or some bug fix is required?
