R -- Basic error Handing with tryCatch() Posted on December 7, 2011 by Jonathan Callahan This entry is part 4 of 20 in the series Using RThe R language r trycatch continue definition section on Exception Handling describes a very few basics about exceptions in r catch error and continue R but is of little use to anyone trying to write robust code that can recover gracefully in the if error in r face of errors. In fact, if you do a little searching you will find that quite a few people have read through the ?tryCatch documentation but come away just as confused as when r throw exception they started. In this post we'll try to clarify a few things and describe how R's error handling functions can be used to write code that functions similarly to Java's try-catch-finally construct. List of error handling functions Without any simple documentation on the subject, the first thing we need is a list of the functions involved in error handling. With this list in hand we can
R Suppress Error
then start up R and type ?function_of_interest to read associated documentation or function_of_interest [without the ‘()'] to see how the function is implemented. Here is a minimal list of functions that anyone writing error handling code should read up on: warning(…) -- generates warnings stop(…) -- generates errors suppressWarnings(expr) -- evaluates expression and ignores any warnings tryCatch(…) -- evaluates code and assigns exception handlers Other functions exist that relate to error handling but the above are enough to get started. (The documentation for these functions will lead to all the other error-related functions for any RTFM enthusiasts.) R does try-catch-finally differently In case you hadn't noticed, R does a lot of things differently from most other programming languages. Java and Python and C and all other languages covered in Wikipedia's excellent page on Exception handling syntax use language statements to enable try-catch-finally. R, needing to be different, uses a function. But the tryCatch() function actually looks a lot like other languages' try-catch syntax if you format it properly: result = tryCatch({ expr }, warning = function(w) { warning-handler-code }, error = function(e) { error-handler-code }, finally = { cleanup-code } 12

This original answer pointed to Google's Code Search has since been discontinued, but you can try Github search as e.g. in this query for tryCatch in language=R; Ohloh/Blackduck Code search eg this query for tryCatc

There are many handling functions explained in the file, with examples. So I suggest starting with help(conditions) ## and example(conditions) Additionally, tools::assertCondition might be worth a look too. It is linked at the bottom of the conditions documentation. share|improve this answer edited Jan 14 '15 at 19:45 answered Jan 14 '15 at 19:30 Rich Scriven 55.7k650111 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as

All it displayed as an error was: Code: Trace/breakpoint trap Now whenever I try to use R in the terminal in either Gnome or XFCE4, the terminal prints all the R login messages (right down to 'Type 'q()' to quit R.'), then instantly prings "Trace/breakpoint trap" below that and exits R. I can run R in a terminal screen (Cntrl-Alt-F2), but obviously cannot produce plots here without having a window manager. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening here? Edit: Rkward will not run either - the Rkward window opens then suddenly closes again, with Trace/breakpoint trap showing in the terminal from which I was starting Rkward.
