// Package vterrors provides simple error handling primitives for Vitess // // In all Vitess code, errors should be propagated using vterrors.Wrapf() // and not fmt.Errorf(). This makes sure that stacktraces are kept and // propagated correctly. // // New errors should be created using vterrors.New or vterrors.Errorf // // Vitess uses canonical error codes for error reporting. This is based // on years of industry experience with error reporting. This idea is // that errors should be classified into a small set of errors (10 or so) // with very specific meaning. Each error has a code, and a message. When // errors are passed around (even through RPCs), the code is // propagated. To handle errors, only the code should be looked at (and // not string-matching on the error message). // // Error codes are defined in /proto/vtrpc.proto. Along with an // RPCError message that can be used to transmit errors through RPCs, in // the message payloads. These codes match the names and numbers defined // by gRPC. // // A standardized error implementation that allows you to build an error // with an associated canonical code is also defined. // While sending an error through gRPC, these codes are transmitted // using gRPC's error propagation mechanism and decoded back to // the original code on the other end. // // Retrieving the cause of an error // // Using vterrors.Wrap constructs a stack of errors, adding context to the // preceding error, instead of simply building up a string. // Depending on the nature of the error it may be necessary to reverse the // operation of errors.Wrap to retrieve the original error for inspection. // Any error value which implements this interface // // type causer interface { // Cause() error // } // // can be inspected by vterrors.Cause and vterrors.RootCause. // // * vterrors.Cause will find the immediate cause if one is available, or nil // if the error is not a `causer` or if no cause is available. // * vterrors.RootCause will recursively retrieve // the topmost error which does not implement causer, which is assumed to be // the original cause. For example: // // switch err := errors.RootCause(err).(type) { // case *MyError: // // handle specifically // default: // // unknown error // } // // causer interface is not exported by this package, but is considered a part // of stable public API. // // Formatted printing of errors // // All error values returned from this package implement fmt.Formatter and can // be formatted by the fmt package. The following verbs are supported // // %s print the error. If the error has a Cause it will be // printed recursively // %v extended format. Each Frame of the error's StackTrace will // be printed in detail. // // Most but not all of the code in this file was originally copied from // https://github.com/pkg/errors/blob/v0.8.0/errors.go package vterrors import ( "flag" "fmt" "io" "golang.org/x/net/context" vtrpcpb "vitess.io/vitess/go/vt/proto/vtrpc" ) // LogErrStacks controls whether or not printing errors includes the // embedded stack trace in the output. var LogErrStacks bool func init() { flag.BoolVar(&LogErrStacks, "log_err_stacks", false, "log stack traces for errors") } // New returns an error with the supplied message. // New also records the stack trace at the point it was called. func New(code vtrpcpb.Code, message string) error { return &fundamental{ msg: message, code: code, stack: callers(), } } // NewWithoutCode returns an error when no applicable error code is available // It will record the stack trace when creating the error func NewWithoutCode(message string) error { return &fundamental{ msg: message, code: vtrpcpb.Code_UNKNOWN, stack: callers(), } } // Errorf formats according to a format specifier and returns the string // as a value that satisfies error. // Errorf also records the stack trace at the point it was called. func Errorf(code vtrpcpb.Code, format string, args ...interface{}) error { return &fundamental{ msg: fmt.Sprintf(format, args...), code: code, stack: callers(), } } // fundamental is an error that has a message and a stack, but no caller. type fundamental struct { msg string code vtrpcpb.Code *stack } func (f *fundamental) Error() string { return f.msg } func (f *fundamental) Format(s fmt.State, verb rune) { switch verb { case 'v': panicIfError(io.WriteString(s, "Code: "+f.code.String()+"\n")) panicIfError(io.WriteString(s, f.msg+"\n")) if LogErrStacks { f.stack.Format(s, verb) } return case 's': panicIfError(io.WriteString(s, f.msg)) case 'q': panicIfError(fmt.Fprintf(s, "%q", f.msg)) } } // Code returns the error code if it's a vtError. // If err is nil, it returns ok. func Code(err error) vtrpcpb.Code { if err == nil { return vtrpcpb.Code_OK } if err, ok := err.(*fundamental); ok { return err.code } cause := Cause(err) if cause != err && cause != nil { // If we did not find an error code at the outer level, let's find the cause and check it's code return Code(cause) } // Handle some special cases. switch err { case context.Canceled: return vtrpcpb.Code_CANCELED case context.DeadlineExceeded: return vtrpcpb.Code_DEADLINE_EXCEEDED } return vtrpcpb.Code_UNKNOWN } // Wrap returns an error annotating err with a stack trace // at the point Wrap is called, and the supplied message. // If err is nil, Wrap returns nil. func Wrap(err error, message string) error { if err == nil { return nil } return &wrapping{ cause: err, msg: message, stack: callers(), } } // Wrapf returns an error annotating err with a stack trace // at the point Wrapf is call, and the format specifier. // If err is nil, Wrapf returns nil. func Wrapf(err error, format string, args ...interface{}) error { if err == nil { return nil } return &wrapping{ cause: err, msg: fmt.Sprintf(format, args...), stack: callers(), } } type wrapping struct { cause error msg string stack *stack } func (w *wrapping) Error() string { return w.msg + ": " + w.cause.Error() } func (w *wrapping) Cause() error { return w.cause } func (w *wrapping) Format(s fmt.State, verb rune) { if rune('v') == verb { panicIfError(fmt.Fprintf(s, "%v\n", w.Cause())) panicIfError(io.WriteString(s, w.msg)) if LogErrStacks { w.stack.Format(s, verb) } return } if rune('s') == verb || rune('q') == verb { panicIfError(io.WriteString(s, w.Error())) } } // since we can't return an error, let's panic if something goes wrong here func panicIfError(_ int, err error) { if err != nil { panic(err) } } // RootCause returns the underlying cause of the error, if possible. // An error value has a cause if it implements the following // interface: // // type causer interface { // Cause() error // } // // If the error does not implement Cause, the original error will // be returned.
