Functions ¶
func Any ¶
Any performs a Walk traversal of an error, returning true (and short-circuiting) if the supplied filter function returns true for any visited erorr.
If err is nil, Any will return false.
func Filter ¶
Filter examines a supplied error and removes instances of excluded errors from it. If the entire supplied error is excluded, Filter will return nil.
If a MultiError is supplied to Filter, it will be recursively traversed, and its child errors will be turned into nil if they match the supplied filter. If a MultiError has all of its children converted to nil as a result of the filter, it will itself be reduced to nil.
func FilterFunc ¶
FilterFunc examines a supplied error and removes instances of errors that match the supplied filter function. If the entire supplied error is removed, FilterFunc will return nil.
If a MultiError is supplied to FilterFunc, it will be recursively traversed, and its child errors will be turned into nil if they match the supplied filter function. If a MultiError has all of its children converted to nil as a result of the filter, it will itself be reduced to nil.
Consqeuently, if err is a MultiError, shouldFilter will be called once with err as its value and once for every non-nil error that it contains.
func GetTags ¶
GetTags returns a map of all TagKeys set in this error to their value.
A nil value means that the tag is present, but has a nil associated value.
This is done in a depth-first traversal of the error stack, with the most-recently-set value of the tag taking precendence.
func Log ¶
Log logs the full error. If this is an Annotated error, it will log the full stack information as well.
This is a shortcut for logging the output of RenderStack(err).
func New ¶
func New(msg string, tags ...TagValueGenerator) error
New is an API-compatible version of the standard errors.New function. Unlike the stdlib errors.New, this will capture the current stack information at the place this error was created.
func RenderStack ¶
RenderStack renders the error to a list of lines.
func SingleError ¶
SingleError provides a simple way to uwrap a MultiError if you know that it could only ever contain one element.
If err is a MultiError, return its first element. Otherwise, return err.
func TagValueIn ¶
TagValueIn will retrieve the tagged value from the error that's associated with this key, and a boolean indicating if the tag was present or not.
func Unwrap ¶
Unwrap unwraps a wrapped error recursively, returning its inner error.
If the supplied error is not nil, Unwrap will never return nil. If a wrapped error reports that its InnerError is nil, that error will be returned.
func Walk ¶
Walk performs a depth-first traversal of the supplied error, unfolding it and invoke the supplied callback for each layered error recursively. If the callback returns true, Walk will continue its traversal.
- If walk encounters a MultiError, the callback is called once for the outer MultiError, then once for each inner error.
- If walk encounters a Wrapped error, the callback is called for the outer and inner error.
- If an inner error is, itself, a container, Walk will recurse into it.
If err is nil, the callback will not be invoked.
func WalkLeaves ¶
WalkLeaves is like Walk, but only calls fn on leaf nodes.
Types ¶
type Annotator ¶
type Annotator struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Annotator is a builder for annotating errors. Obtain one by calling Annotate on an existing error or using Reason.
See the example test for Annotate to see how this is meant to be used.
func Annotate ¶
Annotate captures the current stack frame and returns a new annotatable error, attaching the publically readable `reason` format string to the error. You can add additional metadata to this error with the 'InternalReason' and 'Tag' methods, and then obtain a real `error` with the Err() function.
If this is passed nil, it will return a no-op Annotator whose .Err() function will also return nil.
The original error may be recovered by using Wrapped.InnerError on the returned error.
Rendering the derived error with Error() will render a summary version of all the public `reason`s as well as the initial underlying error's Error() text. It is intended that the initial underlying error and all annotated reasons only contain user-visible information, so that the accumulated error may be returned to the user without worrying about leakage.
You should assume that end-users (including unauthenticated end users) may see the text in the `reason` field here. To only attach an internal reason, leave the `reason` argument blank and don't pass any additional formatting arguments.
The `reason` string is formatted with `args` and may contain Sprintf-style formatting directives.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func someProcessingFunction(val int) error {
if val == 1 {
// New and Reason automatically include stack information.
return Reason("bad number: %d", val).Err()
}
if err := someProcessingFunction(val - 1); err != nil {
// correctly handles recursion
return Annotate(err, "").InternalReason("val(%d)", val).Err()
}
return nil
}
func someLibFunc(vals ...int) error {
for i, v := range vals {
if err := someProcessingFunction(v); err != nil {
return Annotate(err, "processing %d", v).
InternalReason("secret(%s)/i(%d)", "value", i).Err()
}
}
return nil
}
type MiscWrappedError struct{ error }
func (e *MiscWrappedError) Error() string { return fmt.Sprintf("super wrapper(%s)", e.error.Error()) }
func (e *MiscWrappedError) InnerError() error { return e.error }
func errorWrapper(err error) error {
if err != nil {
err = &MiscWrappedError{err}
}
return err
}
func someIntermediateFunc(vals ...int) error {
errch := make(chan error)
go func() {
defer close(errch)
errch <- Annotate(errorWrapper(someLibFunc(vals...)), "could not process").Err()
}()
me := MultiError(nil)
for err := range errch {
if err != nil {
me = append(me, err)
}
}
if me != nil {
return Annotate(me, "while processing %v", vals).Err()
}
return nil
}
func main() {
if err := someIntermediateFunc(3); err != nil {
err = Annotate(err, "top level").Err()
fmt.Println("Public-facing error:\n ", err)
fmt.Println("\nfull error:")
for _, l := range FixForTest(RenderStack(err, "runtime", "_test")) {
fmt.Println(l)
}
}
}
Output: Public-facing error: top level: while processing [3]: could not process: super wrapper(processing 3: bad number: 1) full error: GOROUTINE LINE #? go.chromium.org/luci/common/errors/annotate_example_test.go:24 - errors.someProcessingFunction() reason: bad number: 1 #? go.chromium.org/luci/common/errors/annotate_example_test.go:26 - errors.someProcessingFunction() internal reason: val(2) #? go.chromium.org/luci/common/errors/annotate_example_test.go:26 - errors.someProcessingFunction() internal reason: val(3) From frame 2 to 3, the following wrappers were found: unknown wrapper *errors.MiscWrappedError #? go.chromium.org/luci/common/errors/annotate_example_test.go:35 - errors.someLibFunc() reason: processing 3 internal reason: secret(value)/i(0) From frame 3 to 4, the following wrappers were found: internal reason: MultiError 1/1: following first non-nil error. #? go.chromium.org/luci/common/errors/annotate_example_test.go:59 - errors.someIntermediateFunc.func1() reason: could not process ... skipped SOME frames in pkg "runtime"...

func Reason ¶
Reason builds a new Annotator starting with reason. This allows you to use all the formatting directives you would normally use with Annotate, in case your originating error needs tags or an internal reason.
errors.Reason("something bad: %d", value).Tag(transient.Tag).Err()
Prefer this form to errors.New(fmt.Sprintf("..."))
func (*Annotator) InternalReason ¶
InternalReason adds a stack-trace-only internal reason string (for humans) to this error.
The text here will only be visible when using `errors.Log` or `errors.RenderStack`, not when calling the .Error() method of the resulting error.
The `reason` string is formatted with `args` and may contain Sprintf-style formatting directives.
func (*Annotator) Tag ¶
func (a *Annotator) Tag(tags ...TagValueGenerator) *Annotator
Tag adds a tag with an optional value to this error.
`value` is a unary optional argument, and must be a simple type (i.e. has a reflect.Kind which is a base data type like bool, string, or int).
type BoolTag ¶
type BoolTag struct{ Key TagKey }
BoolTag is an error tag implementation which holds a boolean value.
It should be constructed like:
var myTag = errors.BoolTag{Key: errors.NewTagKey("some description")}
func (BoolTag) GenerateErrorTagValue ¶
GenerateErrorTagValue implements TagValueGenerator, and returns a default value for the tag of `true`. If you want to set this BoolTag value to false, use BoolTag.Off().
type LazyMultiError ¶
type LazyMultiError interface {
// Assign semantically assigns the error to the given index in the MultiError.
// If the error is nil, no action is taken. Otherwise the MultiError is
// allocated to its full size (if not already), and the error assigned into
// it.
//
// Returns true iff err != nil (i.e. "was it assigned?"), so you can use this
// like:
// if !lme.Assign(i, err) {
// // stuff requiring err == nil
// }
Assign(int, error) bool
// GetOne returns the error at the given index (which may be nil)
GetOne(int) error
// Get returns the MultiError, or nil, if no non-nil error was Assign'd.
Get() error
}
LazyMultiError is a lazily-constructed MultiError.
LazyMultiError is like MultiError, except that you know the ultimate size up front, and then you call Assign for each error encountered, and it's potential index. The underlying MultiError will only be allocated if one of the Assign'd errors is non-nil. Similarly, Get will retrieve either the allocated MultiError, or nil if no error was encountered. Build one with NewLazyMultiError.
func NewLazyMultiError ¶
func NewLazyMultiError(size int) LazyMultiError
NewLazyMultiError makes a new LazyMultiError of the provided size.
type MultiError ¶
type MultiError []error
MultiError is a simple `error` implementation which represents multiple `error` objects in one.
func NewMultiError ¶
func NewMultiError(errors ...error) MultiError
NewMultiError create new multi error from given errors.
Can be used to workaround 'go vet' confusion "composite literal uses unkeyed fields" or if you do not want to remember that MultiError is in fact []error.
func (MultiError) Error ¶
func (m MultiError) Error() string
func (MultiError) Summary ¶
func (m MultiError) Summary() (n int, first error)
Summary gets the total count of non-nil errors and returns the first one.
type TagKey ¶
type TagKey *tagDescription
TagKey objects are used for applying tags and finding tags/values in errors. See NewTag for details.
func NewTagKey ¶
NewTagKey creates a new TagKey.
Use this with a BoolTag or your own custom tag implementation.
Example (bool tag):
var myTag = errors.BoolTag{Key: errors.NewTagKey("this error is a user error")}
err = myTag.Apply(err)
myTag.In(err) // == true
err2 := myTag.Off().Apply(err)
myTag.In(err2) // == false
Example (custom tag)
type SomeType int
type myTag struct { Key errors.TagKey }
func (m myTag) With(value SomeType) errors.TagValue {
return errors.TagValue{Key: vm.Key, Value: value}
}
func (m myTag) In(err error) (v SomeType, ok bool) {
d, ok := errors.TagValueIn(m.Key, err)
if ok {
v = d.(SomeType)
}
return
}
var MyTag = myTag{errors.NewTagKey("has a SomeType")}
You could then use it like:
err = MyTag.With(100).Apply(err) MyTag.In(err) // == true MyTag.ValueIn(err) // == (SomeType(100), true)
type TagValue ¶
type TagValue struct {
Key TagKey
Value interface{}
}
TagValue represents a (tag, value) to be used with Annotate.Tag, or may be applied to an error directly with the Apply method.
Usually tag implementations will have a typesafe With method that generates these. Avoid constructing these ad-hoc so that a given tag definition can control the type safety around these.
func (TagValue) Apply ¶
Apply applies this tag value (key+value) directly to the error. This is a shortcut for `errors.Annotate(err, "").Tag(t).Err()`.
func (TagValue) GenerateErrorTagValue ¶
GenerateErrorTagValue implements TagValueGenerator
type TagValueGenerator ¶
type TagValueGenerator interface {
GenerateErrorTagValue() TagValue
}
TagValueGenerator generates (TagKey, value) pairs, for use with Annoatator.Tag and New().
