Sounds like you aren't running your scripts as scripts. If you source a script or run it via Rscript it will halt when it hits a failure (unless you've changed a default). Copying and pasting in to the REPL will hide errors like you describe.

The other part is that it sounds like you don't have a standardized R environment. I admit that R's tooling there isn't the best, but there are options, e.g. {packrat} & {lockbox}... or better yet a Docker image.
