Issue on loading tidyverse through R Script

When trying to load the tidyverse package in R Script, I get the following error message:

library(tidyverse)

-- Attaching packages -------------------------------------------------tidyverse 1.2.1 --    
v tibble  1.4.2     v purrr   0.2.5
v tidyr   0.8.1     v stringr 1.3.1    
v tibble  1.4.2     v forcats 0.3.0

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’: .onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'tidyverse', details: call: NULL

error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

However when I try to load it through console the package gets loaded successfully.

Below is the traceback()
