failIf

failIf(T, (value: T) -> Boolean, String): T

Produces an error with the specified message if the expression in the evaluator returns true, otherwise returns the value.

Parameters

Name Description

value

The value to return only if the evaluator expression is false.

evaluator

Expression that returns true or false.

Example

This example produces a runtime error (instead of a SUCCESS message) because the expression isEmpty(result) is true. It is true because an empty object is passed through variable result.
