ArgumentInvalidTypeError

pentaho.lang. ArgumentInvalidTypeError

The ArgumentInvalidTypeError class is the class of errors for a function's argument that has been specified, although with a value of an unsupported type, according to the documented contract.

The name of the argument can be that of a nested property. For example: "keyArgs.description".

Types can be:

  • One of the possible results of the typeof operator. For example: "number", "string", "boolean", "function".
  • The name of global classes/constructors, that would be testable by use of the instanceof operator or by accessing the constructor property. For example: "Array", "Object", or "HTMLElement".
  • The identifier of an AMD module that returns a constructor or factory. For example: "pentaho/type/Complex".
