//! This library provides [`anyhow::Error`][Error], a trait object based error //! type for easy idiomatic error handling in Rust applications. //! //!
//! //! # Details //! //! - Use `Result`, or equivalently `anyhow::Result`, as //! the return type of any fallible function. //! //! Within the function, use `?` to easily propagate any error that implements //! the `std::error::Error` trait. //! //! ``` //! # pub trait Deserialize {} //! # //! # mod serde_json { //! # use super::Deserialize; //! # use std::io; //! # //! # pub fn from_str(json: &str) -> io::Result { //! # unimplemented!() //! # } //! # } //! # //! # struct ClusterMap; //! # //! # impl Deserialize for ClusterMap {} //! # //! use anyhow::Result; //! //! fn get_cluster_info() -> Result { //! let config = std::fs::read_to_string("cluster.json")?; //! let map: ClusterMap = serde_json::from_str(&config)?; //! Ok(map) //! } //! # //! # fn main() {} //! ``` //! //! - Attach context to help the person troubleshooting the error understand //! where things went wrong. A low-level error like "No such file or //! directory" can be annoying to debug without more context about what higher //! level step the application was in the middle of. //! //! ``` //! # struct It; //! # //! # impl It { //! # fn detach(&self) -> Result<()> { //! # unimplemented!() //! # } //! # } //! # //! use anyhow::{Context, Result}; //! //! fn main() -> Result<()> { //! # return Ok(()); //! # //! # const _: &str = stringify! { //! ... //! # }; //! # //! # let it = It; //! # let path = "./path/to/instrs.jsox"; //! # //! it.detach().context("failed to detach the important thing")?; //! //! let content = std::fs::read(path) //! .with_context(|| format!("failed to read instrs from {}", path))?; //! # //! # const _: &str = stringify! { //! ... //! # }; //! # //! # Ok(()) //! } //! ``` //! //! ```console //! Error: failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.jsox //! //! Caused by: //! No such file or directory (os error 2) //! ``` //! //! - Downcasting is supported and can be by value, by shared reference, or by //! mutable reference as needed. //! //! ``` //! # use anyhow::anyhow; //! # use std::fmt::{self, Display}; //! # use std::task::Poll; //! # //! # #[derive(Debug)] //! # enum DataStoreError { //! # Censored(()), //! # } //! # //! # impl Display for DataStoreError { //! # fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { //! # unimplemented!() //! # } //! # } //! # //! # impl std::error::Error for DataStoreError {} //! # //! # const REDACTED_CONTENT: () = (); //! # //! # let error = anyhow!("..."); //! # let root_cause = &error; //! # //! # let ret = //! // If the error was caused by redaction, then return a //! // tombstone instead of the content. //! match root_cause.downcast_ref::() { //! Some(DataStoreError::Censored(_)) => Ok(Poll::Ready(REDACTED_CONTENT)), //! None => Err(error), //! } //! # ; //! ``` //! //! - A backtrace is captured and printed with the error if the underlying error //! type does not already provide its own. In order to see backtraces, the //! `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable must be defined. //! //! - Anyhow works with any error type that has an impl of `std::error::Error`, //! including ones defined in your crate. We do not bundle a `derive(Error)` //! macro but you can write the impls yourself or use a standalone macro like //! [thiserror]. //! //! [thiserror]: https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror //! //! ``` //! use thiserror::Error; //! //! #[derive(Error, Debug)] //! pub enum FormatError { //! #[error("invalid header (expected {expected:?}, got {found:?})")] //! InvalidHeader { //! expected: String, //! found: String, //! }, //! #[error("missing attribute: {0}")] //! MissingAttribute(String), //! } //! ``` //! //! - One-off error messages can be constructed using the `anyhow!` macro, which //! supports string interpolation and produces an `anyhow::Error`. //! //! ``` //! # use anyhow::{anyhow, Result}; //! # //! # fn demo() -> Result<()> { //! # let missing = "..."; //! return Err(anyhow!("missing attribute: {}", missing)); //! # Ok(()) //! # } //! ``` //! //!
//! //! # Acknowledgements //! //! The implementation of the `anyhow::Error` type is originally forked from //! `fehler::Exception` ([https://github.com/withoutboats/fehler][fehler]). This //! library exposes it under the more standard `Error` / `Result` terminology //! rather than the `throw!` / `#[throws]` / `Exception` language of exceptions. //! //!
