Expand description
Error
is a trait representing the basic expectations for error values,
i.e., values of type E
in Result<T, E>
.
Errors must describe themselves through the Display
and Debug
traits. Error messages are typically concise lowercase sentences without
trailing punctuation:
let err = "NaN".parse::<u32>().unwrap_err();
assert_eq!(err.to_string(), "invalid digit found in string");
Errors may provide cause information. Error::source()
is generally
used when errors cross “abstraction boundaries”. If one module must report
an error that is caused by an error from a lower-level module, it can allow
accessing that error via Error::source()
. This makes it possible for the
high-level module to provide its own errors while also revealing some of the
implementation for debugging.
Provided Methods§
1.30.0 · sourcefn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>
fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>
Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.
§Examples
use std::error::Error;
use std::fmt;
#[derive(Debug)]
struct SuperError {
source: SuperErrorSideKick,
}
impl fmt::Display for SuperError {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
write!(f, "SuperError is here!")
}
}
impl Error for SuperError {
fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)> {
Some(&self.source)
}
}
#[derive(Debug)]
struct SuperErrorSideKick;
impl fmt::Display for SuperErrorSideKick {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
write!(f, "SuperErrorSideKick is here!")
}
}
impl Error for SuperErrorSideKick {}
fn get_super_error() -> Result<(), SuperError> {
Err(SuperError { source: SuperErrorSideKick })
}
fn main() {
match get_super_error() {
Err(e) => {
println!("Error: {e}");
println!("Caused by: {}", e.source().unwrap());
}
_ => println!("No error"),
}
}
1.0.0 · sourcefn description(&self) -> &str
👎Deprecated since 1.42.0: use the Display impl or to_string()
fn description(&self) -> &str
if let Err(e) = "xc".parse::<u32>() {
// Print `e` itself, no need for description().
eprintln!("Error: {e}");
}
fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>
sourcefn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access
)
fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)
error_generic_member_access
)Provides type-based access to context intended for error reports.
Used in conjunction with Request::provide_value
and Request::provide_ref
to extract
references to member variables from dyn Error
trait objects.
§Example
#![feature(error_generic_member_access)]
use core::fmt;
use core::error::{request_ref, Request};
#[derive(Debug)]
enum MyLittleTeaPot {
Empty,
}
#[derive(Debug)]
struct MyBacktrace {
// ...
}
impl MyBacktrace {
fn new() -> MyBacktrace {
// ...
}
}
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Error {
backtrace: MyBacktrace,
}
impl fmt::Display for Error {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
write!(f, "Example Error")
}
}
impl std::error::Error for Error {
fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>) {
request
.provide_ref::<MyBacktrace>(&self.backtrace);
}
}
fn main() {
let backtrace = MyBacktrace::new();
let error = Error { backtrace };
let dyn_error = &error as &dyn std::error::Error;
let backtrace_ref = request_ref::<MyBacktrace>(dyn_error).unwrap();
assert!(core::ptr::eq(&error.backtrace, backtrace_ref));
assert!(request_ref::<MyLittleTeaPot>(dyn_error).is_none());
}

can be used as an error when T is an Error.
However for GIL lifetime reasons, cause() cannot be implemented for Py<T>
.
Use .as_ref() to get the GIL-scoped error if you need to inspect the cause.
