Summary: [R] Discussion: should we use {rlang} for condition handling?
(was: [R] Discussion: should we use {rlang} for condition handling)
> [R] Discussion: should we use {rlang} for condition handling?
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-15359
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15359
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Reporter: Dragoș Moldovan-Grünfeld
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently we have a mixture of {{base::stop()}} and {{rlang::abort()}} in the
> codebase. Should we make a deliberate choice to use one or the other?
> If we decided to switch to {{{}rlang{}}}, we could:
> * change the codebase as we go along, switching from {{base}} functions
> ({{{}stop(), warning(), message(){}}} to their {{rlang}} equivalents
> {{abort(), warn(), inform()}}
> * make an addendum to {{STYLE.md}} on condition handling
> We could cover additional aspects of condition handling such as the wording
> of messages - for example, by using key words such as *must* or {*}should{*}.
> Please discuss direction and why. :)
> Note: the {{arrow}} R package already depends on {{rlang}} so any outcome
> will not result in additional dependencies.
