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. + + ```rust + use anyhow::{Context, Result}; + + fn main() -> Result<()> { + ... + it.detach().context("Failed to detach the important thing")?; + + let content = std::fs::read(path) + .with_context(|| format!("Failed to read instrs from {}", path))?; + ... + } + ``` + + ```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. + + ```rust + // If the error was caused by redaction, then return a + // tombstone instead of the content. + match root_cause.downcast_ref::<DataStoreError>() { + 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]. + + ```rust + 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`. + + ```rust + return Err(anyhow!("Missing attribute: {}", missing)); + ``` + + A `bail!` macro is provided as a shorthand for the same early return. + + ```rust + bail!("Missing attribute: {}", missing); + ``` + +<br> + +## 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. + +<br> + +## Comparison to failure + +The `anyhow::Error` type works something like `failure::Error`, but unlike +failure ours is built around the standard library's `std::error::Error` trait +rather than a separate trait `failure::Fail`. The standard library has adopted +the necessary improvements for this to be possible as part of [RFC 2504]. + +[RFC 2504]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2504-fix-error.md + +<br> + +## Comparison to thiserror + +Use Anyhow if you don't care what error type your functions return, you just +want it to be easy. This is common in application code. Use [thiserror] if you +are a library that wants to design your own dedicated error type(s) so that on +failures the caller gets exactly the information that you choose. + +[thiserror]: https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror + +<br> + +#### License + +<sup> +Licensed under either of <a href="LICENSE-APACHE">Apache License, Version +2.0</a> or <a href="LICENSE-MIT">MIT license</a> at your option. +</sup> + +<br> + +<sub> +Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted +for inclusion in this crate by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall +be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions. +</sub> |
