I'm a huge fan of tryCatch(). However, until today I never really paid attention to the distinction between simple and regular warnings/errors and thus I don't really know how to handle them.

Actual question

What I'd like to know is how to tell tryCatch (see help file) that simple warnings are OK and that it should return the result of expr instead of jumping to the warning section.

Below you'll find a reproducible example

No tryCatch >> no warning

require("forecast")
y   <- ts(c(6178, 7084, 8162, 8462, 9644, 10466, 10748, 9963, 8194, 6848, 7027, 7269, 6775, 7819, 8371, 9069, 10248, 11030, 10882, 10333, 9109, 7685, 7602, 8350, 7829, 8829, 9948, 10638, 11253, 11424, 11391, 10665, 9396, 7775, 7933, 8186, 7444, 8484, 9864, 10252, 12282, 11637, 11577, 12417, 9637, 8094, 9280, 8334, 7899, 9994, 10078, 10801, 12950, 12222, 12246, 13281, 10366, 8730, 9614, 8639, 8772, 10894, 10455, 11179, 10588, 10794, 12770, 13812, 10857, 9290, 10925, 9491, 8919, 11607, 8852, 12537, 14759, 13667, 13731, 15110, 12185, 10645, 12161, 10840, 10436, 13589, 13402, 13103, 14933, 14147, 14057, 16234, 12389, 11595, 12772))

tryCatch >> simple warning

When I wrap it with tryCatch, it detects a simple warning that will cause my expr block to be "skipped" in favor of the warning section. Thus the function does not return the estimation result, but the simple

r warnings try-catch
