That used to work but R changed the behavior of the commandArgs()
function a couple of years ago, I guess the orginal author of getopt
didn't update his example then.
This will do the trick:
args <- commandArgs()
file_index <- grepl("--file=", args)
self <- gsub("--file=", "", args[file_index])

The author of getopt started but did not finish adding positional
arguments to ``getopt``. Howevor, positional arguments have been
supported in the ``optparse`` package for over a year if you specify
``positional_args=TRUE`` to the ``parse_args`` function.
