Hi Ista, it's weird I don't know why this happens. I tried so many different ways but now finally I found a solution. I wrote a little shell script:
pdflatex -halt-on-error body.tex bibtex body.aux pdflatex -halt-on-error body.tex pdflatex -halt-on-error body.tex which does the job. So my "External Tools Configuration" looks like the following now: library(tools) setwd("${container_loc}") system("./body.sh", intern=TRUE) I get the output into R and as soon as there is an error in my latex code it the compilation/processing stops and the output is still put into the R console. This was possible by adding the -halt-on-error parameter. Thanks for your support anyway.
