Description

The function getRequirePackages in python/plugins/processing/algs/r/RUtils.py includes packages that are commented out.

The regular expression in the function searches for the string 'library' without respect for lines that are commented out with a '#'. The returned list of packages includes package names for lines that are commented out in the .rsx file. As a result, getImortCommands in python/plugins/processing/algs/r/RAlgorithm.py adds lines to the generated r script that tries to install packages that are not needed by the script.

As an example:

in an .rsx file:

#library(network)

adds:

tryCatch(find.package("network"), error=function(e) install.packages("network", dependencies=TRUE))

to processing_script.r even though the library is not needed or used.

I can work around this in my code by removing the commented out library line from my .rsx file. However, the regular expression should be modified to respect comments
