Method.caniuse: Many ways to indicate failing caniuse check
Opened this issue · 0 comments

Currently, when subclassing Method, if the caniuse()
check fails, the subclass could either.
- Return
False
(means unsuitable) or a string (means unsuitable and tell a reason for it) - Raise an Exception
Should there be only one way to indicate that the caniuse check fails? Perhaps, change the wording from
Returns
-------
result: bool | None | str
``True`` means suitable, ``None`` means uncertain, ``False`` means
unsuitable and a string means unsuitable and tells the reason for
it.
Raises
------
Exception
If the Method may not be used, may raise an Exception.
to
Returns
-------
result: bool | None | str
``True`` means suitable, ``None`` means uncertain, ``False`` means
unsuitable and a string means unsuitable and tells the reason for
it.
any exception raised is interpreted as a failed caniuse check, but when subclassing, it is preferable to use a return value rather than raise an exception.
