Static
captureCreates a .stack
property on targetObject
, which when accessed returns
a string representing the location in the code at which
Error.captureStackTrace()
was called.
const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack; // Similar to `new Error().stack`
The first line of the trace will be prefixed with
${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}
.
The optional constructorOpt
argument accepts a function. If given, all frames
above constructorOpt
, including constructorOpt
, will be omitted from the
generated stack trace.
The constructorOpt
argument is useful for hiding implementation
details of error generation from the user. For instance:
function a() {
b();
}
function b() {
c();
}
function c() {
// Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
const error = new Error();
Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;
// Capture the stack trace above function b
Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
throw error;
}
a();
Optional
constructorOpt: FunctionStatic
isType guard for an instance of this error.
Some value
true
if value
is an instance of AssertionError
Static
isIndicates whether the argument provided is a built-in Error instance or not.
Static
prepareSet to the actual
argument for methods such as ().
Readonly
assertionAssertion ID of the assertion that caused this error.
Optional
causeValue is always ERR_ASSERTION
to show that the error is an assertion error.
Set to the expected
argument for methods such as ().
Indicates if the message was auto-generated (true
) or not.
Set to the passed in operator value.
Optional
stackStatic
stackThe Error.stackTraceLimit
property specifies the number of stack frames
collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack
or
Error.captureStackTrace(obj)
).
The default value is 10
but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes
will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.
If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.
BUPKIS' s custom
AssertionError
class, which is just a thin wrapper around Node.js' AssertionError.
