Enum ApexSolverError 

pub enum ApexSolverError {
    Core(CoreError),
    Optimizer(OptimizerError),
    LinearAlgebra(LinAlgError),
    Manifold(ManifoldError),
    Io(IoError),
    Observer(ObserverError),
}

Main error type for the apex-solver library

This is the top-level error type exposed by public APIs. It wraps module-specific errors while preserving the full error chain for debugging.

Error Chain Access

You can access the full error chain using the chain() method:

if let Err(e) = solver_optimize() {
    warn!("Error: {}", e);
    warn!("Full chain: {}", e.chain());
}

Variants

Core(CoreError)

Core module errors (problem construction, factors, variables)

Optimizer(OptimizerError)

Optimization algorithm errors

LinearAlgebra(LinAlgError)

Linear algebra errors

Manifold(ManifoldError)

Manifold operation errors

Io(IoError)

I/O and file parsing errors

Observer(ObserverError)

Observer/visualization errors

Implementations

impl ApexSolverError

pub fn chain(&self) -> String

Get the full error chain as a string for logging and debugging.

This method traverses the error source chain and returns a formatted string showing the hierarchy of errors from the top-level ApexSolverError down to the root cause.

Example

match solver_optimize() {
    Ok(result) => { /* ... */ }
    Err(e) => {
        warn!("Optimization failed!");
        warn!("Error chain: {}", e.chain());
        // Output: "Optimizer error: Linear system solve failed →
        //          Linear algebra error: Singular matrix detected"
    }
}

pub fn chain_compact(&self) -> String

Get a compact single-line error chain for logging

Similar to chain() but formats as a single line with arrow separators.

Example

error!("Operation failed: {}", apex_err.chain_compact());
// Output: "Optimizer error → Linear algebra error → Singular matrix"

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for ApexSolverError

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for ApexSolverError

fn fmt(&self, __formatter: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for ApexSolverError

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0: use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0: replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access)

Provides type-based access to context intended for error reports.
