Dear Adrian,
Here's my slightly modified version of your function, which serves my purpose:
------- snip -------
tryCatchWEM <- function (expr, capture = TRUE) {
toreturn <- list()
output <- withVisible(withCallingHandlers(
tryCatch(expr,
error = function(e) {
toreturn$error <<- e$message
NULL
}), warning = function(w) {
toreturn$warning <<- c(toreturn$warning, w$message)
invokeRestart("muffleWarning")
}, message = function(m) {
toreturn$message <<- paste(toreturn$message, m$message,
sep = "")
invokeRestart("muffleMessage")
}))
if (capture & output$visible) {
if (!is.null(output$value)) {
toreturn$result <- output$value
}
}
if (length(toreturn) > 0) {
return(toreturn)
}
}
------- snip -------
The two small modifications are to change the default of capture to TRUE and to return output$value rather than capture.output(output$value). So a suggestion would be to modify the capture argument to, say, capture=c("no", "output", "value") and then something like
. . .
capture <- match.arg(capture)
. . .
if (capture == "output"){
toreturn$output <- capture.output(output$value)
} else if (capture == "value"){
toreturn$value <- output$value
}
. . .
Best,
John

Glad it helps.
I would be happy to improve the function, should you send a reprex with the
desired final result.
Best wishes,
Adrian
