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

🚧 An auto-fix is still under development.

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"
  }
}
