Rscript in terminal yields in "Error: RStudio not running"

Question

I've been using for while Rstudio with R pre-installed, as usual. Some days ago I decided to run absolutely everything I can in the terminal/CLI, since some GUI/IDEs keep crashing over and over and doing my stuff in vim seem to me to be enough. I googled and tried to run a R script that I used to run with Rstudio, now using Rscript. I also added R and Rscript to PATH, ran chmod +x to the file, added the shebang to the R file, and yet the message that I get is this:

Error: RStudio not running
Execution halted

So, what am I doing wrong? Why does it seem Rstudio is trying to run this script if I haven't even tried to use it in the command line? I have erased almost all the code and left only one line, that calls another R script, which clears the environment:

#!/usr/bin/Rscript

# Clears everything
source("cleanAll.R")

cleanAll.R code:

rm(list = ls())     # Clears global environment
cat("\014")         # Clears the console
setwd(dirname(rstudioapi::getActiveDocumentContext()$path))
graphics.off()

Answer 1

You are trying to use the {rstudioapi} package.

You can't use this package unless you are in an interactive RStudio session. Hence the error Error: RStudio not running.

Are you trying to get the working directory? You should use getwd() if this is the case.
