suppressing error tracebacks

[behrman]

We are writing a book where we want to show the error message from some code but not a traceback. For example

library(tidyverse)

tibble(x = 1:2) %>% 
  map_dbl(sort)

where we specified the chunk with {r, error=TRUE}.

How can we get the error message without the traceback?

Thanks

If you go to this page and search for "Backtrace", you'll see the result.

The site was rendered using rmarkdown::render_site(), and the source code is here.

Thanks

This seems unusual!

This backtrack if from rlang.
Did you configured something like this from rlang somewhere? .Rprofile ?

rlang 0.3.1

[behrman]

I don't have an .Rprofile, but I updated rlang to the current version, and the problem disappeared.

Many thanks, we can close this question.

Glad it pointed out to the right thing.

If your question's been answered (even by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
