Add or remove a listener to top-level task callbacks that checks for whether a new warning or error occurs and then triggers a search browser.

Usage

enable_warning_shim(
  warning_search_func = getOption("errorist.warning", searcher::search_google)
)

disable_warning_shim()

enable_error_shim(
  error_search_func = getOption("errorist.error", searcher::search_google)
)

disable_error_shim()

Arguments

error_search_func, warning_search_func

The search function from searcher that should be called when an error or warning occurs. By default, searches are routed through Google.

Details

By default, both enable_warning_shim() and enable_error_shim() functions are automatically triggered when the errorist package is loaded.

Error Shim

The error shim uses R's default handler for errors set by specifying a function for error in options().

Warning Shim

For the warning shim, a top-level task callback added to the environment via base::addTaskCallback(). This causes the warning handler to fire each time a new function call occurs in R regardless of whether it triggers an error.
