It looks like a bug in R, not Rscript: what Rscript does is effectively

R --file=size.R


and you can easily test that

echo 'print("Hello world")'>  size.R
R --file=size.R


give you the error while

cp size.R asize.R
R --file=asize.R


works as expected.

None of which helps you directly, but perhaps one of the developeRs can help fix what seems to be broken options parsing in the R code.

Hello All,

It seems weird to me that Rscript does the following thing and enters
the R prompt mode. If I change the file name to something that doesn't
start with 'size', then Rscript runs normally. Does anybody know what
is going on?

$ Rscript size.R
WARNING: '--file=size.R' value is invalid: ignored


$ Rscript --version
R scripting front-end version 51072
