Asserts That a Parameter Does Not Exist in the Dataset

Source: R/assertions.R
assert_param_does_not_exist.Rd

Checks if a parameter (PARAMCD) does not exist in a dataset.

Usage

assert_param_does_not_exist(
  dataset,
  param,
  arg_name = rlang::caller_arg(dataset),
  message = NULL,
  class = "assert_param_does_not_exist",
  call = parent.frame()
)

Arguments

dataset

A data.frame

param

Parameter code to check

arg_name

string indicating the label/symbol of the object being checked.

message

string passed to cli::cli_abort(message). When NULL, default messaging is used (see examples for default messages). "{arg_name}" can be used in messaging.

class

Subclass of the condition.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

Value

The function throws an error if the parameter exists in the input dataset. Otherwise, the dataset is returned invisibly.

Examples

library(dplyr)

advs <- tribble(
  ~USUBJID, ~VSTESTCD, ~VSTRESN, ~VSSTRESU, ~PARAMCD, ~AVAL,
  "P01",    "WEIGHT",      80.1, "kg",      "WEIGHT",  80.1,
  "P02",    "WEIGHT",      85.7, "kg",      "WEIGHT",  85.7
)
assert_param_does_not_exist(advs, param = "HR")
try(assert_param_does_not_exist(advs, param = "WEIGHT"))
#> Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : 
#>   The parameter code "WEIGHT" already exists in dataset `advs`.
