[R] source() is 'bombing'

[Ben Tupper]

Hi,

I'm a little fuzzy on what a bomb is in this context, but the source() function expects the input argument to be either a connection object or character string.  See ...

?source

Try enclosing you filename with quotes.

Cheers,
Ben

I tried a lot of things in vain. At the end, I deleted the whole content of the file and paste in it a copy of the same file but in my own directory after a reopen with encoding. I save and commit all; Quit R; restart the PC and open the Git project : all seems ok.
