Make some functionalities work only in MacVim, but not on Vim from within Terminal

I use Vim mostly through OS X's MacVim application, but I also use it from within Terminal. However, since I use the following vim code in order to make use of session to keep previous files always open in next session:

In ~/.vimrc: 

function! RestoreSession()
  if argc() == 0 "vim called without arguments
    execute 'source ~/.vim/Session.vim'
  end
endfunction
autocmd VimEnter * call RestoreSession()

when I use MacVim, there are no issues there, but when I use Vim from within Terminal, whenever I type in commands (vim) and start to use it, I first got a lot of error messages like Error detected while processing /Users/myUserName/.vim/Session.vim: line 265: "path/to/my/file.js" 19L, 626C

So I wonder what is the best way to cope with the above issue:

I'd like to take the second solution if it is feasible, but how can I do it? And are there other solutions that you know are better in this situation?

Thanks.

Put any settings that you only want to use in the GUI version into a .gvimrc file instead.

Unless you can figure out what's the root cause of the errors (and as you're apparently content with the restore even with those errors), you can suppress them via:

silent! execute 'source ~/.vim/Session.vim'
