unicorn/no-useless-error-capture-stack-trace Restriction

🚧 An auto-fix is planned for this rule, but not implemented at this time.

What it does

Disallows unnecessary Error.captureStackTrace(…) in error constructors.

Why is this bad?

Calling Error.captureStackTrace(…) inside the constructor of a built-in Error subclass is unnecessary, since the Error constructor calls it automatically.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

class MyError extends Error {
  constructor() {
    Error.captureStackTrace(this, MyError);
  }
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

class MyError extends Error {
  constructor() {
    // No need to call Error.captureStackTrace
  }
}

How to use

To enable this rule in the CLI or using the config file, you can use:

CLI

oxlint --deny unicorn/no-useless-error-capture-stack-trace

Config (.oxlintrc.json)

{
  "rules": {
    "unicorn/no-useless-error-capture-stack-trace": "error"
  }
}
