fn-error-context 0.2.1

An attribute macro to add context to errors from a function.
Documentation
//! This crate provides the [`context`](attr.context.html) macro for adding extra error
//! information to a function.
//!
//! Works with [`anyhow`], [`failure`] and any other error type which
//! provides a `context` method taking a string.
//!
//! ```
//! # use std::fs::read_to_string;
//! # use std::path::Path;
//! # use std::io;
//! #
//! use fn_error_context::context;
//!
//! #[context("failed to parse config at `{}`", path.as_ref().display())]
//! pub fn parse_config(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> anyhow::Result<u32> {
//!     let text = read_to_string(path.as_ref())?;
//!     Ok(text.parse()?)
//! }
//!
//! let error = parse_config("not-found").unwrap_err();
//! assert_eq!(
//!     error.to_string(),
//!     "failed to parse config at `not-found`",
//! );
//! assert_eq!(
//!     error.source().unwrap().downcast_ref::<io::Error>().unwrap().kind(),
//!     io::ErrorKind::NotFound,
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! [`anyhow`]: https://crates.io/crates/anyhow
//! [`failure`]: https://crates.io/crates/failure

/// Add context to errors from a function.
///
/// The arguments to this macro are a format string with arguments using
/// the standard `std::fmt` syntax. Arguments to the function can be used
/// as long as they are not consumed in the function body.
///
/// This macro desugars to something like
/// ```
/// # fn function_body() -> anyhow::Result<()> { unimplemented!() }
/// #
/// pub fn function() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
///     (|| -> anyhow::Result<()> {
///         function_body()
///     })().map_err(|err| err.context("context"))
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Sometimes you will receive borrowck errors, especially when returning references. These can
/// often be fixed by setting the `move` option of the attribute macro. For example:
///
/// ```
/// use fn_error_context::context;
///
/// #[context(move, "context")]
/// fn returns_reference(val: &mut u32) -> anyhow::Result<&mut u32> {
///     Ok(&mut *val)
/// }
/// ```
