Struct simple_error::SimpleError

pub struct SimpleError {
    // some fields omitted
}

A type that represents a simple error.

This type uses a String to store the error string, and it implements std::error::Error.

Methods

impl SimpleError

fn new<T: Into<String>>(t: T) -> SimpleError

Creates a new simple error.

This function can take any type that implements Into<String>.

Examples

use self::simple_error::SimpleError;

// errors can be created from `str`
let err = SimpleError::new("an error from str");

// errors can also be created from `String`
let err = SimpleError::new(String::from("an error from String"));

fn from<T: Error>(t: T) -> SimpleError

Creates a new simple error from another error.

This function can take any type that implements std::error::Error. The error string will be the Display of the std::error::Error.

Examples

use self::simple_error::SimpleError;
use std::io;

// errors can be created from `io::Error`
let err = SimpleError::from(io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::Other, "oh no"));
assert_eq!("oh no", format!("{}", err));

fn with<T: Error>(s: &str, t: T) -> SimpleError

Creates a new simple error from a string with another error.

This function takes a string as error and a type that implements std::error::Error as reason. The error string will be the Display of the std::error::Error prefixed with the string and ", ".

Examples

use self::simple_error::SimpleError;

let err = SimpleError::with("cannot turn on tv", SimpleError::new("remote not found"));
assert_eq!("cannot turn on tv, remote not found", format!("{}", err));
