9 //! This library provides [`anyhow::Error`][Error], a trait object based error
10 //! type for easy idiomatic error handling in Rust applications.
16 //! - Use `Result<T, anyhow::Error>`, or equivalently `anyhow::Result<T>`, as
17 //! the return type of any fallible function.
19 //! Within the function, use `?` to easily propagate any error that implements
20 //! the `std::error::Error` trait.
23 //! # pub trait Deserialize {}
25 //! # mod serde_json {
26 //! # use super::Deserialize;
29 //! # pub fn from_str<T: Deserialize>(json: &str) -> io::Result<T> {
30 //! # unimplemented!()
34 //! # struct ClusterMap;
36 //! # impl Deserialize for ClusterMap {}
38 //! use anyhow::Result;
40 //! fn get_cluster_info() -> Result<ClusterMap> {
41 //! let config = std::fs::read_to_string("cluster.json")?;
42 //! let map: ClusterMap = serde_json::from_str(&config)?;
49 //! - Attach context to help the person troubleshooting the error understand
50 //! where things went wrong. A low-level error like "No such file or
51 //! directory" can be annoying to debug without more context about what higher
52 //! level step the application was in the middle of.
58 //! # fn detach(&self) -> Result<()> {
59 //! # unimplemented!()
63 //! use anyhow::{Context, Result};
65 //! fn main() -> Result<()> {
68 //! # const _: &str = stringify! {
73 //! # let path = "./path/to/instrs.json";
75 //! it.detach().context("Failed to detach the important thing")?;
77 //! let content = std::fs::read(path)
78 //! .with_context(|| format!("Failed to read instrs from {}", path))?;
80 //! # const _: &str = stringify! {
89 //! Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
92 //! No such file or directory (os error 2)
95 //! - Downcasting is supported and can be by value, by shared reference, or by
96 //! mutable reference as needed.
99 //! # use anyhow::anyhow;
100 //! # use std::fmt::{self, Display};
101 //! # use std::task::Poll;
103 //! # #[derive(Debug)]
104 //! # enum DataStoreError {
108 //! # impl Display for DataStoreError {
109 //! # fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
110 //! # unimplemented!()
114 //! # impl std::error::Error for DataStoreError {}
116 //! # const REDACTED_CONTENT: () = ();
118 //! # let error = anyhow!("...");
119 //! # let root_cause = &error;
122 //! // If the error was caused by redaction, then return a
123 //! // tombstone instead of the content.
124 //! match root_cause.downcast_ref::<DataStoreError>() {
125 //! Some(DataStoreError::Censored(_)) => Ok(Poll::Ready(REDACTED_CONTENT)),
126 //! None => Err(error),
131 //! - If using the nightly channel, a backtrace is captured and printed with the
132 //! error if the underlying error type does not already provide its own. In
133 //! order to see backtraces, they must be enabled through the environment
134 //! variables described in [`std::backtrace`]:
136 //! - If you want panics and errors to both have backtraces, set
137 //! `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`;
138 //! - If you want only errors to have backtraces, set `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=1`;
139 //! - If you want only panics to have backtraces, set `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` and
140 //! `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=0`.
142 //! The tracking issue for this feature is [rust-lang/rust#53487].
144 //! [`std::backtrace`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/backtrace/index.html#environment-variables
145 //! [rust-lang/rust#53487]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53487
147 //! - Anyhow works with any error type that has an impl of `std::error::Error`,
148 //! including ones defined in your crate. We do not bundle a `derive(Error)`
149 //! macro but you can write the impls yourself or use a standalone macro like
152 //! [thiserror]: https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror
155 //! use thiserror::Error;
157 //! #[derive(Error, Debug)]
158 //! pub enum FormatError {
159 //! #[error("Invalid header (expected {expected:?}, got {found:?})")]
161 //! expected: String,
164 //! #[error("Missing attribute: {0}")]
165 //! MissingAttribute(String),
169 //! - One-off error messages can be constructed using the `anyhow!` macro, which
170 //! supports string interpolation and produces an `anyhow::Error`.
173 //! # use anyhow::{anyhow, Result};
175 //! # fn demo() -> Result<()> {
176 //! # let missing = "...";
177 //! return Err(anyhow!("Missing attribute: {}", missing));
182 //! A `bail!` macro is provided as a shorthand for the same early return.
185 //! # use anyhow::{bail, Result};
187 //! # fn demo() -> Result<()> {
188 //! # let missing = "...";
189 //! bail!("Missing attribute: {}", missing);
198 //! In no_std mode, the same API is almost all available and works the same way.
199 //! To depend on Anyhow in no_std mode, disable our default enabled "std"
200 //! feature in Cargo.toml. A global allocator is required.
204 //! anyhow = { version = "1.0", default-features = false }
207 //! Since the `?`-based error conversions would normally rely on the
208 //! `std::error::Error` trait which is only available through std, no_std mode
209 //! will require an explicit `.map_err(Error::msg)` when working with a
210 //! non-Anyhow error type inside a function that returns Anyhow's error type.
