Greetings,
Noticed that starting with R version 4.1.0, the base environment is
locked by default. So for example in interactive mode, we have
> .BaseNamespaceEnv$foo <- "bar"
Error in .BaseNamespaceEnv$foo <- "bar" :
cannot add binding of 'foo' to the base environment
However it appears that when operating in non-interactive mode, the
locking is not actually enforced:
$ ~/R422/bin/Rscript -e "environmentIsLocked(.BaseNamespaceEnv)"
[1] TRUE
$ ~/R422/bin/Rscript -e ".BaseNamespaceEnv$foo <- 'bar';
.BaseNamespaceEnv$foo"
[1] "bar"
Just wondering if this is intentional, and if not, should I file a bug
report?
Regards,
Ben
