I have a project in Rstudio, with two files x.Rmd and y.R which has functions, etc

title: "Untitled"
date: "5/21/2020"
output:
word_document:
reference_docx: "word-styles-reference.docx"

knitr::opts_chunk$set(error = TRUE)

setwd(rstudioapi::getActiveProject())
source("y.R")

I get an error
setwd(rstudioapi::getActiveProject())

Error: RStudio not running

source("y.R")

Error: RStudio not running

Hello,

You can find the correct way for sourcing global code here, and for sourcing code in specific chunks here.

Hope this helps,

Hello,

Still is not working

setwd(rstudioapi::getActiveProject())

source("y.R", envir = knitr::knit_global())

sys.source("y.R", envir = knitr::knit_global())

Hi,

Here is an example that works for me (both files are in the same directory.):

File to source (test.R)

myFunction = function(x){
  x^2
}

Markdown document

---
title: "Markdown"
output: html_document
---

```{r, include=FALSE}
sys.source("test.R", envir = knitr::knit_global())
```
## Test sourced function (myFunction)

```{r echo=TRUE}
myFunction(2)
```

Output
