📝 Disallow unnecessary Error.captureStackTrace(…).

💼 This rule is enabled in the following configs: ✅ recommended, ☑️ unopinionated.

🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.

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

Examples

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

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

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

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

// ❌
class MyError extends Error {
	constructor() {
		Error.captureStackTrace(this, new.target);
	}
}

// ❌
class MyError extends Error {
	constructor() {
		Error.captureStackTrace?.(this, new.target);
	}
}
