is_informative_error

Is an error informative?

Description

is_informative_error() is a generic predicate that indicates whether testthat users should explicitly test for an error class. Since we no longer recommend you do that, this generic has been deprecated.

Usage

is_informative_error(x, ...)

Arguments

`x`	An error object.
`...`	These dots are for future extensions and must be empty.

Details

A few classes are hard-coded as uninformative:

simpleError
rlang_error unless a subclass is detected
Rcpp::eval_error
Rcpp::exception
