Situation Normal: All Fouled Up

crates.io Documentation Build Status

SNAFU is a library to easily assign underlying errors into domain-specific errors while adding context.

use snafu::prelude::*;
use std::{fs, io, path::PathBuf};

#[derive(Debug, Snafu)]
enum Error {
    #[snafu(display("Unable to read configuration from {}", path.display()))]
    ReadConfiguration { source: io::Error, path: PathBuf },

    #[snafu(display("Unable to write result to {}", path.display()))]
    WriteResult { source: io::Error, path: PathBuf },
}

type Result<T, E = Error> = std::result::Result<T, E>;

fn process_data() -> Result<()> {
    let path = "config.toml";
    let configuration = fs::read_to_string(path).context(ReadConfigurationSnafu { path })?;
    let path = unpack_config(&configuration);
    fs::write(&path, b"My complex calculation").context(WriteResultSnafu { path })?;
    Ok(())
}

fn unpack_config(data: &str) -> &str {
    "/some/path/that/does/not/exist"
}
