Check if an argument is NULL

Check if an argument is NULL

checkNull(x)

check_null(x)

assertNull(x, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)

assert_null(x, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)

testNull(x)

test_null(x)

Arguments

x

[any]
Object to check.

.var.name

[character(1)]
Name of the checked object to print in assertions. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.

add

[AssertCollection]
Collection to store assertion messages. See AssertCollection.

Value

Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, the functions

assertNull/assert_null return

x invisibly, whereas

checkNull/check_null and

testNull/test_null return

TRUE. If the check is not successful,

assertNull/assert_null

throws an error message,

testNull/test_null

returns FALSE, and checkNull/check_null

return a string with the error message. The function expect_null always returns an

expectation.
