Fields

cause: String

The cause of the error

message: String

Formatted error message, enhancing the cause message with extra information

kind: ErrorKind

The type of error

info: Option<Vec<String>>

Implementations

impl Error

pub fn use_stderr(&self) -> bool

Should the message be written to stdout or not

pub fn exit(&self) -> !

Prints the error to stderr and exits with a status of 1

pub fn with_description(description: impl Into<String>, kind: ErrorKind) -> Self

Create an error with a custom description.

This can be used in combination with Error::exit to exit your program with a custom error message.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for Error

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.

impl From<Error> for Error

fn from(e: Error) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Error> for Error

fn from(e: Error) -> Self
