[Superseded]

expect_is() is an older form that uses inherits() without checking whether x is S3, S4, or neither. Instead, I'd recommend using expect_type(), expect_s3_class(), or expect_s4_class() to more clearly convey your intent.

Usage

expect_is(object, class, info = NULL, label = NULL)

Arguments

object

Object to test.

Supports limited unquoting to make it easier to generate readable failures within a function or for loop. See quasi_label for more details.

class

Class name passed to inherits().
