Common juju errors and functions to annotate errors. Based on juju/errgo

errors

import "github.com/juju/errors"

The juju/errors provides an easy way to annotate errors without losing the original error context.

The exported New and Errorf functions are designed to replace the errors.New and fmt.Errorf functions respectively. The same underlying error is there, but the package also records the location at which the error was created.

A primary use case for this library is to add extra context any time an error is returned from a function.

    if err := SomeFunc(); err != nil {
	    return err
	}

This instead becomes:

    if err := SomeFunc(); err != nil {
	    return errors.Trace(err)
	}

which just records the file and line number of the Trace call, or

    if err := SomeFunc(); err != nil {
	    return errors.Annotate(err, "more context")
	}

which also adds an annotation to the error.

When you want to check to see if an error is of a particular type, a helper function is normally exported by the package that returned the error, like the os package does. The underlying cause of the error is available using the Cause function.

os.IsNotExist(errors.Cause(err))

The result of the Error() call on an annotated error is the annotations joined with colons, then the result of the Error() method for the underlying error that was the cause.

err := errors.Errorf("original")
err = errors.Annotatef(err, "context")
err = errors.Annotatef(err, "more context")
err.Error() -> "more context: context: original"

Obviously recording the file, line and functions is not very useful if you cannot get them back out again.

errors.ErrorStack(err)

will return something like:

first error
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:193:
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:194: annotation
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:195:
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:196: more context
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:197:

The first error was generated by an external system, so there was no location associated. The second, fourth, and last lines were generated with Trace calls, and the other two through Annotate.

Sometimes when responding to an error you want to return a more specific error for the situation.

    if err := FindField(field); err != nil {
	    return errors.Wrap(err, errors.NotFoundf(field))
	}

This returns an error where the complete error stack is still available, and errors.Cause() will return the NotFound error.

func AlreadyExistsf

func AlreadyExistsf(format string, args ...interface{}) error

AlreadyExistsf returns an error which satisfies IsAlreadyExists().

func Annotate

func Annotate(other error, message string) error

Annotate is used to add extra context to an existing error. The location of the Annotate call is recorded with the annotations. The file, line and function are also recorded.

For example:

if err := SomeFunc(); err != nil {
    return errors.Annotate(err, "failed to frombulate")
}

func Annotatef

func Annotatef(other error, format string, args ...interface{}) error

Annotatef is used to add extra context to an existing error. The location of the Annotate call is recorded with the annotations. The file, line and function are also recorded.

For example:

if err := SomeFunc(); err != nil {
    return errors.Annotatef(err, "failed to frombulate the %s", arg)
}

func BadRequestf

func BadRequestf(format string, args ...interface{}) error

BadRequestf returns an error which satisfies IsBadRequest().

func Cause

func Cause(err error) error

Cause returns the cause of the given error. This will be either the original error, or the result of a Wrap or Mask call.

Cause is the usual way to diagnose errors that may have been wrapped by the other errors functions.

func DeferredAnnotatef

func DeferredAnnotatef(err *error, format string, args ...interface{})

DeferredAnnotatef annotates the given error (when it is not nil) with the given format string and arguments (like fmt.Sprintf). If *err is nil, DeferredAnnotatef does nothing. This method is used in a defer statement in order to annotate any resulting error with the same message.

For example:

defer DeferredAnnotatef(&err, "failed to frombulate the %s", arg)

func Details

func Details(err error) string

Details returns information about the stack of errors wrapped by err, in the format:

[{filename:99: error one} {otherfile:55: cause of error one}]

This is a terse alternative to ErrorStack as it returns a single line.

func ErrorStack

func ErrorStack(err error) string

ErrorStack returns a string representation of the annotated error. If the error passed as the parameter is not an annotated error, the result is simply the result of the Error() method on that error.

If the error is an annotated error, a multi-line string is returned where each line represents one entry in the annotation stack. The full filename from the call stack is used in the output.

first error
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:193:
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:194: annotation
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:195:
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:196: more context
github.com/juju/errors/annotation_test.go:197:

func Errorf

func Errorf(format string, args ...interface{}) error

Errorf creates a new annotated error and records the location that the error is created. This should be a drop in replacement for fmt.Errorf.

For example:

return errors.Errorf("validation failed: %s", message)

func Forbiddenf

func Forbiddenf(format string, args ...interface{}) error

Forbiddenf returns an error which satistifes IsForbidden()

func IsAlreadyExists

func IsAlreadyExists(err error) bool

IsAlreadyExists reports whether the error was created with AlreadyExistsf() or NewAlreadyExists().

func IsBadRequest

func IsBadRequest(err error) bool

IsBadRequest reports whether err was created with BadRequestf() or NewBadRequest().

func IsForbidden

func IsForbidden(err error) bool

IsForbidden reports whether err was created with Forbiddenf() or NewForbidden().

func IsMethodNotAllowed

func IsMethodNotAllowed(err error) bool

IsMethodNotAllowed reports whether err was created with MethodNotAllowedf() or NewMethodNotAllowed().

func IsNotAssigned

func IsNotAssigned(err error) bool

IsNotAssigned reports whether err was created with NotAssignedf() or NewNotAssigned().

func IsNotFound

func IsNotFound(err error) bool

func IsNotValid(err error) bool

IsNotValid reports whether the error was created with NotValidf() or NewNotValid().

func IsUnauthorized

func IsUnauthorized(err error) bool

IsUnauthorized reports whether err was created with Unauthorizedf() or NewUnauthorized().

func IsUserNotFound

func IsUserNotFound(err error) bool

IsUserNotFound reports whether err was created with UserNotFoundf() or NewUserNotFound().

func Mask

func Mask(other error) error

Mask hides the underlying error type, and records the location of the masking.

func Maskf

func Maskf(other error, format string, args ...interface{}) error

Mask masks the given error with the given format string and arguments (like fmt.Sprintf), returning a new error that maintains the error stack, but hides the underlying error type. The error string still contains the full annotations. If you want to hide the annotations, call Wrap.

func MethodNotAllowedf

func MethodNotAllowedf(format string, args ...interface{}) error

MethodNotAllowedf returns an error which satisfies IsMethodNotAllowed().

func New

func New(message string) error

New is a drop in replacement for the standard library errors module that records the location that the error is created.

For example:

return errors.New("validation failed")

func NewAlreadyExists

func NewAlreadyExists(err error, msg string) error

NewAlreadyExists returns an error which wraps err and satisfies IsAlreadyExists().

func NewBadRequest

func NewBadRequest(err error, msg string) error

NewBadRequest returns an error which wraps err that satisfies IsBadRequest().

func NewForbidden

func NewForbidden(err error, msg string) error

NewForbidden returns an error which wraps err that satisfies IsForbidden().

NotValidf returns an error which satisfies IsNotValid().

func Trace

func Trace(other error) error

Trace adds the location of the Trace call to the stack. The Cause of the resulting error is the same as the error parameter. If the other error is nil, the result will be nil.

For example:

if err := SomeFunc(); err != nil {
    return errors.Trace(err)
}

func Unauthorizedf

func Unauthorizedf(format string, args ...interface{}) error
