Trait flex_error::ErrorSource[−][src]

    type Detail;
    fn error_details(source: Self::Source) -> (Self::Detail, Option<Trace>);
}
Expand description

A type implementing ErrorSource<Trace> is a proxy type that provides the capability of extracting from an error source of type Self::Source, returning error detail of type Self::Detail, and an optional error tracer of type Tracer.

The proxy type Self is not used anywhere. We separate out Self and Self::Source so that there can be different generic implementations of error sources, such as for all E: Display or for all E: Error.

There are currently 4 types of error sources:

  • NoSource - Indicating the lack of any error source
  • DisplayError - An error source that implements Display.
  • DisplayOnly - An error source that implements Display and do not provide additional detail.
  • DetailOnly - An error source that do not contain any error trace
  • TraceError - An error source that implements Error with no detail.
  • ErrorReport - An error type defined by flex-error that contains both error details and error traces.

Associated Types

The type of the error source.

The type of the error detail that can be extracted from the error source

Required methods

Extracts the error details out from the error source, together with an optional error trace.
