Run fn and print result, save arguments on failure. Use on systems like ggplot() where some calculation is delayed until print(). Please see: vignette("DebugFnW", package="wrapr").

Usage

DebugPrintFn(saveDest, fn, ...)

Arguments

saveDest

where to write captured state (determined by type): NULL random temp file, character temp file, name globalenv() variable, and function triggers callback.

fn

Examples


saveDest <- paste0(tempfile('debug'),'.RDS')
f <- function(i) { (1:10)[[i]] }
# correct run
DebugPrintFn(saveDest, f, 5)
# now re-run
# capture error on incorrect run
tryCatch(
   DebugPrintFn(saveDest, f, 12),
   error = function(e) { print(e) })
# examine details
situation <- readRDS(saveDest)
str(situation)
# fix and re-run
situation$args[[1]] <- 6
do.call(situation$fn,situation$args)
# clean up
file.remove(saveDest)
