Check if a CFA did not converge

[t.tk...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am currently trying to include a section in a script that checks if lavaan actually converged or not. If it does not, all I get is 

** WARNING ** lavaan (0.5-22) did NOT converge after 1079 iterations

But the script keeps on running normally, leading to other errors. Is there a way to check for this? I tried inspect and summary but I couldn't access information that reliably identifies models that did not converge.

Thanks,

Tim

The syntax to check convergence is 

lavInspect(fit, "converged")

If this returns TRUE for a data set that issues that warning, could you provide the data and script to reproduce the issue so a bug can be found?
