Error: spawn E2BIG #17

I'm getting this error message when the json I'm passing is large. is there any workaround for it?

There is a limit on how many characters child_process.spawn() can pass to a program (R in this case). Obviously, you are beyond that limit.

A workaround would be to store the data your R program needs in a separate file -- and only pass the name of that file to R.
