1.0.0[−][src]Trait std::error::Error
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, and may provide
cause chain information:
The source method 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 access to that error via the
source method. This makes it possible for the high-level module to
provide its own errors while also revealing some of the implementation for
debugging via source chains.
Provided methods
fn description(&self) -> &str
This method is soft-deprecated.
Although using it won’t cause compilation warning,
new code should use Display instead
and new impls can omit it.
To obtain error description as a string, use to_string().
Examples
match "xc".parse::<u32>() { Err(e) => { // Print `e` itself, not `e.description()`. println!("Error: {}", e); } _ => println!("No error"), }Run
fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>
replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting
The lower-level cause of this error, if any.
Examples
use std::error::Error; use std::fmt; #[derive(Debug)] struct SuperError { side: 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 description(&self) -> &str { "I'm the superhero of errors" } fn cause(&self) -> Option<&Error> { Some(&self.side) } } #[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 description(&self) -> &str { "I'm SuperError side kick" } } fn get_super_error() -> Result<(), SuperError> { Err(SuperError { side: SuperErrorSideKick }) } fn main() { match get_super_error() { Err(e) => { println!("Error: {}", e.description()); println!("Caused by: {}", e.cause().unwrap()); } _ => println!("No error"), } }Run
fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>1.30.0
The lower-level source of this error, if any.
Examples
use std::error::Error; use std::fmt; #[derive(Debug)] struct SuperError { side: 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 description(&self) -> &str { "I'm the superhero of errors" } fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)> { Some(&self.side) } } #[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 description(&self) -> &str { "I'm SuperError side kick" } } fn get_super_error() -> Result<(), SuperError> { Err(SuperError { side: SuperErrorSideKick }) } fn main() { match get_super_error() { Err(e) => { println!("Error: {}", e.description()); println!("Caused by: {}", e.source().unwrap()); } _ => println!("No error"), } }Run
