//! //! 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.json"; //! # //! 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.json //! //! 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), //! } //! # ; //! ``` //! //! - If using the nightly channel, or stable with `features = ["backtrace"]`, 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, they //! must be enabled through the environment variables described in //! [`std::backtrace`]: //! //! - If you want panics and errors to both have backtraces, set //! `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`; //! - If you want only errors to have backtraces, set `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=1`; //! - If you want only panics to have backtraces, set `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` and //! `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=0`. //! //! The tracking issue for this feature is [rust-lang/rust#53487]. //! //! [`std::backtrace`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/backtrace/index.html#environment-variables //! [rust-lang/rust#53487]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53487 //! //! - 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(()) //! # } //! ``` //! //! A `bail!` macro is provided as a shorthand for the same early return. //! //! ``` //! # use anyhow::{bail, Result}; //! # //! # fn demo() -> Result<()> { //! # let missing = "..."; //! bail!("Missing attribute: {}", missing); //! # Ok(()) //! # } //! ``` //! //!
//! //! # No-std support //! //! In no_std mode, the same API is almost all available and works the same way. //! To depend on Anyhow in no_std mode, disable our default enabled "std" //! feature in Cargo.toml. A global allocator is required. //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! anyhow = { version = "1.0", default-features = false } //! ``` //! //! Since the `?`-based error conversions would normally rely on the //! `std::error::Error` trait which is only available through std, no_std mode //! will require an explicit `.map_err(Error::msg)` when working with a //! non-Anyhow error type inside a function that returns Anyhow's error type. #![doc(html_root_url = "https://docs.rs/anyhow/1.0.65")] #![cfg_attr(backtrace, feature(error_generic_member_access, provide_any))] #![cfg_attr(doc_cfg, feature(doc_cfg))] #![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)] #![deny(dead_code, unused_imports, unused_mut)] #![allow( clippy::doc_markdown, clippy::enum_glob_use, clippy::explicit_auto_deref, clippy::missing_errors_doc, clippy::missing_panics_doc, clippy::module_name_repetitions, clippy::must_use_candidate, clippy::needless_doctest_main, clippy::new_ret_no_self, clippy::redundant_else, clippy::return_self_not_must_use, clippy::unused_self, clippy::used_underscore_binding, clippy::wildcard_imports, clippy::wrong_self_convention )] extern crate alloc; #[macro_use] mod backtrace; mod chain; mod context; mod ensure; mod error; mod fmt; mod kind; mod macros; mod ptr; mod wrapper; use crate::error::ErrorImpl; use crate::ptr::Own; use core::fmt::Display; #[cfg(not(feature = "std"))] use core::fmt::Debug; #[cfg(feature = "std")] use std::error::Error as StdError; #[cfg(not(feature = "std"))] trait StdError: Debug + Display { fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn StdError + 'static)> { None } } pub use anyhow as format_err; /// The `Error` type, a wrapper around a dynamic error type. /// /// `Error` works a lot like `Box`, but with these /// differences: /// /// - `Error` requires that the error is `Send`, `Sync`, and `'static`. /// - `Error` guarantees that a backtrace is available, even if the underlying /// error type does not provide one. /// - `Error` is represented as a narrow pointer — exactly one word in /// size instead of two. /// ///
