Take a Bash

Description

Equivalent to tryCatch().

Usage

bash(expr, e = NULL, w = NULL)

Arguments

expr

Expression to run, passed to tryCatch().
e, w

An object of class Error or Warning as returned by e() or w().

Examples

safe_log <- function(x){
 result <- bash(log(x))
 
 if(is.e(result))
   stop(result$stop())

 return(result)
} 

if(interactive())
 safe_log("a")

Check

Description

Check whether an object is an error or a warning.

Usage

is.e(obj)

## Default S3 method:
is.e(obj)

## S3 method for class 'err'
is.e(obj)

is.w(obj)

## Default S3 method:
is.w(obj)

## S3 method for class 'err'
is.w(obj)

is.problem(obj)

Arguments

obj

Object to check.

Value

A boolean value.

Functions

  • is.e: Whether the object is an error.

  • is.w: Whether the object is a warning.

  • is.problem: Whether the object is an error or a warning.

Examples

err <- e("Whoops!")

is.e(err)
is.w(err)

Check

Description

Checks individual objects.

Usage

chk(obj)

chk(obj)

## S3 method for class 'err'
chk(obj)

Arguments

obj

Object to check.

Observe with Error Handling

Description

Observe with erratum error handling.

Usage

e.observe(
  x,
  e = NULL,
  w = NULL,
  env = parent.frame(),
  ...,
  label = NULL,
  suspended = FALSE,
  priority = 0,
  domain = shiny::getDefaultReactiveDomain(),
  autoDestroy = TRUE,
  ..stacktraceon = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

An expression (quoted or unquoted). Any return value will be ignored.
e

Error handler.
w

Warning handler.
env

The parent environment for the reactive expression. By default, this is the calling environment, the same as when defining an ordinary non-reactive expression. If x is a quosure and quoted is TRUE, then env is ignored.
...

Not used.
label

A label for the observer, useful for debugging.
suspended

If TRUE, start the observer in a suspended state. If FALSE (the default), start in a non-suspended state.
priority

An integer or numeric that controls the priority with which this observer should be executed. A higher value means higher priority: an observer with a higher priority value will execute before all observers with lower priority values. Positive, negative, and zero values are allowed.
domain

See domains.
autoDestroy

If TRUE (the default), the observer will be automatically destroyed when its domain (if any) ends.
..stacktraceon

Advanced use only. For stack manipulation purposes; see stacktrace().

Observe Event with Error Handling

Description

Observe event with erratum error handling.

Usage

e.observe.event(
  eventExpr,
  handlerExpr,
  e = NULL,
  w = NULL,
  event.env = parent.frame(),
  event.quoted = FALSE,
  handler.env = parent.frame(),
  handler.quoted = FALSE,
  ...,
  label = NULL,
  suspended = FALSE,
  priority = 0,
  domain = shiny::getDefaultReactiveDomain(),
  autoDestroy = TRUE,
  ignoreNULL = TRUE,
  ignoreInit = FALSE,
  once = FALSE
)

Arguments

eventExpr

A (quoted or unquoted) expression that represents the event; this can be a simple reactive value like input$click, a call to a reactive expression like dataset(), or even a complex expression inside curly braces
handlerExpr

The expression to call whenever eventExpr is invalidated. This should be a side-effect-producing action (the return value will be ignored). It will be executed within an isolate() scope.
e

Error handler.
w

Warning handler.
event.env

The parent environment for the reactive expression. By default, this is the calling environment, the same as when defining an ordinary non-reactive expression. If eventExpr is a quosure and event.quoted is TRUE, then event.env is ignored.
event.quoted

If it is TRUE, then the quote()ed value of eventExpr will be used when eventExpr is evaluated. If eventExpr is a quosure and you would like to use its expression as a value for eventExpr, then you must set event.quoted to TRUE.
handler.env

The parent environment for the reactive expression. By default, this is the calling environment, the same as when defining an ordinary non-reactive expression. If handlerExpr is a quosure and handler.quoted is TRUE, then handler.env is ignored.
handler.quoted

If it is TRUE, then the quote()ed value of handlerExpr will be used when handlerExpr is evaluated. If handlerExpr is a quosure and you would like to use its expression as a value for handlerExpr, then you must set handler.quoted to TRUE.
...

Currently not used.
label

A label for the observer or reactive, useful for debugging.
suspended

If TRUE, start the observer in a suspended state. If FALSE (the default), start in a non-suspended state.
priority

An integer or numeric that controls the priority with which this observer should be executed. An observer with a given priority level will always execute sooner than all observers with a lower priority level. Positive, negative, and zero values are allowed.
domain

See domains.
autoDestroy

If TRUE (the default), the observer will be automatically destroyed when its domain (if any) ends.
ignoreNULL

Whether the action should be triggered (or value calculated, in the case of eventReactive) when the input event expression is NULL. See Details.
ignoreInit

If TRUE, then, when this observeEvent is first created/initialized, ignore the handlerExpr (the second argument), whether it is otherwise supposed to run or not. The default is FALSE. See Details.
once

Whether this observeEvent should be immediately destroyed after the first time that the code in handlerExpr is run. This pattern is useful when you want to subscribe to a event that should only happen once.
