[R] strange behaviour when sourcing inside function

[Noia Raindrops]

Hello,

If argument 'local' is FALSE, 'source' function is evaluating the file in global environment
and object 'a' is not in global environment.

Function's environment is just local. And environment() in a function returns the function's environment.


test <- function () source("test.R", local = FALSE)
# test.R is evaluated in global environment.

test <- function () source("test.R", local = environment())
# environment() returns the envrionment of 'test' function.

test <- function () source("test.R", local = TRUE)
# this is same as above.
