Stop Kettle/Spoon from crashing with one line R script

Question

Let suppose there is a simple R script with only one statement: q()

Using the R Script plugin in Pentaho Kettle/Spoon, executing the above R script causes Spoon/Kettle to crash.

How can we stop Kettle/Spoon from crashing abnormally with the above statement in our R script?

Kettle should instead stop executing the script and execution control should return to Kettle.

Answer 1

Try to use a return(value) instead q() to expect kettle handle the value from R script and continue the common kettle row flow.
