In cli: Helpers for Developing Command Line Interfaces

Signal an error, warning or message with a cli formatted message

Description

These functions let you create error, warning or diagnostic messages with cli formatting, including inline styling, pluralization and glue substitutions.

Usage

cli_abort(
  message,
  ...,
  call = .envir,
  .envir = parent.frame(),
  .frame = .envir
)

cli_warn(message, ..., .envir = parent.frame())

cli_inform(message, ..., .envir = parent.frame())

Arguments

message	It is formatted via a call to cli_bullets().
...	Passed to rlang::abort(), rlang::warn() or rlang::inform().
call	The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error. You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message. Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display. For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.
.envir	Environment to evaluate the glue expressions in.
.frame	The throwing context. Used as default for .trace_bottom, and to determine the internal package to mention in internal errors when .internal is TRUE.

#> ✖ You've tried to subset element 100.
