Problem importing R export data was created by spalan
I have enabled the R export plugin and exported the syntax and data files for my survey. However, when I try to import the data using
Code:
source("SYNTAXFILE.R", encoding = "UTF-8")

I get an error message saying

Error in source("survey_622524_R_syntax_file.R", encoding = "UTF-8") :
survey_622524_R_syntax_file.R:2879:9: unexpected symbol
2878: names(data)[586] <- "Goodbye"
2879: Unknown type


And indeed, when I open the syntax file, the last two lines in it are:
Code:
names(data)[586] <- "Goodbye"
Unknown type

The problem is obviously caused by the last line, since R does not know how to interpret "Unknown type".

Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem in the plugin's export?

Best,
Stefan.

LimeSurvey version and build number
LSS file (or LSA if possible) to check the issue
And maybe a www.limesurvey.org/manual/Check_data_integrity can fix the issue.

I am sorry - I am using the LimeSurvey instance hosted on limesurvey.org. This is version 3.15.8. I have now attached the .lss file:
