Expand description
Error
is a trait representing the basic expectations for error values,
i.e., values of type E
in Result<T, E>
.
Errors must describe themselves through the Display
and Debug
traits. Error messages are typically concise lowercase sentences without
trailing punctuation:
let err = "NaN".parse::<u32>().unwrap_err();
assert_eq!(err.to_string(), "invalid digit found in string");
Errors may provide cause information. Error::source()
is generally
used when errors cross “abstraction boundaries”. If one module must report
an error that is caused by an error from a lower-level module, it can allow
accessing that error via Error::source()
. This makes it possible for the
high-level module to provide its own errors while also revealing some of the
implementation for debugging.
Provided Methods§
1.30.0 · sourcefn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>
fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>
The lower-level source of this error, if any.
Examples

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>
sourcefn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)
fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)
error_generic_member_access
)Provides type based access to context intended for error reports.
Used in conjunction with Request::provide_value
and Request::provide_ref
to extract
references to member variables from dyn Error
trait objects.
