---------------------------------
Summary: [R] Rephrase docs for schema()'s ... argument and
rephrase error message
Key: ARROW-13888
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13888
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nic Crane
In the docs for {{schema()}}, the ellipses argument is documented as "named
list of data types".
However, if I create a schema using a named list, e.g.
{code:java}
share_schema <- schema(
list(
company = utf8(),
price = float64(),
date = date32()
)
)
{code}
I get the error: \{{Error: !is.null(nms <- names(.list)) is not TRUE }}
We should:
# Rephrase the documentation of that argument so it doesn't say to use a named
list
# Update the error message shown if a named list is supplied to be a little
clearer about what the user has done wrong
