我在我的 R 代码中使用tryCatch了很多来捕获潜在的错误消息，但我今天遇到了一个奇怪的问题ggplot- 我真的不知道发生了什么（即使在 Google/SO 搜索上花了一些时间之后）。

调用不完整的简单示例ggplot（未添加层）：

> tryCatch(eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=wt))')), error = function(e) e)
Error: No layers in plot

所以错误没有被捕获。甚至更多：我得到一个带有ggplot类的 R 对象：

> str(tryCatch(eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=wt))')), error = function(e) e))

有什么想法可以捕捉到这些错误吗？

更新：我知道上面的调用在某些情况下可能没问题（比如稍后添加一个图层）。但是请考虑以下示例（请注意，我们有一个错字：tis provided on yaxis 而不是wt）：

> tryCatch(eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=t)) + geom_point()')), error = function(e) e)
Error in data.frame(x = c(110, 110, 93, 110, 175, 105, 245, 62, 95, 123,  : 
  arguments imply differing number of rows: 32, 0

我确实收到了错误消息，但这不是由tryCatch.

发生这种情况是因为错误不会发生在对 的调用中ggplot，而是在对 的调用中print.ggplot。

所以你的tryCatch作品，但错误只会在以后尝试打印时发生。这意味着您必须在语句tryCatch周围放置：print

试试这个：

x <- tryCatch(eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=wt))')), 
              error = function(e) e)
tryCatch(print(x), error = function(e) e)
<simpleError: No layers in plot>

对于您的第二个示例：

x <- eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=t)) + geom_point()'))
tryCatch(print(x), error = function(e) e)

<simpleError in data.frame(x = c(110, 110, 93, 110, 175, 105, 245, 62, 95, 123, 123, 180, 180, 180, 205, 215, 230, 66, 52, 65, 97, 150, 150, 245, 175, 66, 91, 113, 264, 175, 335, 109), y = structure(function (x) standardGeneric("t"), generic = structure("t", package = "base"), package = "base", group = list(), valueClass = character(0), signature = "x", default = structure(function (x) UseMethod("t"), target = structure("ANY", class = structure("signature", package = "methods"), .Names = "x", package = "methods"), defined = structure("ANY", class = structure("signature", package = "methods"), .Names = "x", package = "methods"), generic = structure("t", package = "base"), class = structure("derivedDefaultMethod", package = "methods")), skeleton = structure(function (x) UseMethod("t"), target = structure("ANY", class = structure("signature", package = "methods"), .Names = "x", package = "methods"), defined = structure("ANY", class = structure("signature", package = "methods"), .Names = "x", package = "methods"), generic = structure("t", package = "base"), class = structure("derivedDefaultMethod", package = "methods"))(x), class = structure("standardGeneric", package = "methods")),     PANEL = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L,     1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L,     1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), check.names = FALSE, stringsAsFactors = TRUE): arguments imply differing number of rows: 32, 0>
