Enum PluginError 

pub enum PluginError {
    Error(Box<dyn Error + 'static>),
    Message(&'static str),
}

A generic, type-erased error type for plugin-originating errors.

Errors are type-erased because the CLAP API does not support extracting error information from a plugin or host, only that an error happened.

Errors originating from a user-provided plugin implementation are simply logged through the host’s provided logging facilities if available, or the standard error output (stderr) if not.

This error can be constructed either from any existing Error type, or from an arbitrary error message.

Example

use std::io;
use clack_plugin::prelude::PluginError;

fn foo () -> io::Result<()> {
    /* ... */
}

fn perform(valid: bool) -> Result<(), PluginError> {
    if !valid {
        return Err(PluginError::Message("Invalid value"))
    }    
    /* ... */
    foo()?;
    /* ... */
    Ok(())
}

Variants

Error(Box<dyn Error + 'static>)

A generic, type-erased error.

Message(&'static str)

A constant string message to be displayed.
