dot-report_api_error: Report an API-call error with full context

In baseballr: Acquiring and Analyzing Baseball Data

Report an API-call error with full context

Description

Standardizes the message every ESPN MLB wrapper emits inside its tryCatch(error = ...) block: a timestamped friendly hint (brace-interpolated against the caller env), a dump of the call's arguments, and the actual error message. Wrappers capture their formals once near the top with .args <- mget(setdiff(names(formals()), "...")) (or .args <- .capture_args() for arg-less wrappers).

Usage

.report_api_error(e, hint = NULL, args = list())

Arguments

e	error condition.
hint	character. Friendly message with optional {name} tokens that resolve against the caller's environment. Defaults to "Request failed".
args	optional named list of caller arguments to dump.

Value

Invisibly NULL. Called for its side effects.
