mod <-
"
f1 =~ x4 + x5 + x6
"
dat_gp <- dat
dat$gp <- rep(c("gp1", "gp2"), length.out = nrow(dat_gp))

fit01 <- lavaan::sem(mod, dat)
# If supported, returns a zero.
lavaan_rerun_check(fit01)

fit05 <- lavaan::cfa(mod, dat, group = "gp")
# If not supported, returns a negative number.
lavaan_rerun_check(fit05)
