Expand description

A helper trait for attaching informational sections to error reports to be displayed after the chain of errors

Details

color_eyre provides two types of help text that can be attached to error reports: custom sections and pre-configured sections. Custom sections are added via the section and with_section methods, and give maximum control over formatting.

The pre-configured sections are provided via suggestion, warning, and note. These sections are displayed after all other sections with no extra newlines between subsequent Help sections. They consist only of a header portion and are prepended with a colored string indicating the kind of section, e.g. `Note: This might have failed due to …“

Required methods

Add a section to an error report, to be displayed after the chain of errors.

Details

Sections are displayed in the order they are added to the error report. They are displayed immediately after the Error: section and before the SpanTrace and Backtrace sections. They consist of a header and an optional body. The body of the section is indented by default.

Examples
ⓘ
use color_eyre::{eyre::eyre, eyre::Report, Help};

Err(eyre!("command failed"))
    .section("Please report bugs to https://real.url/bugs")?;

Add a Section to an error report, to be displayed after the chain of errors. The closure to create the Section is lazily evaluated only in the case of an error.

Examples
use color_eyre::{eyre::eyre, eyre::Report, Help, SectionExt};

let output = std::process::Command::new("ls")
    .output()?;

let output = if !output.status.success() {
    let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
    Err(eyre!("cmd exited with non-zero status code"))
        .with_section(move || stderr.trim().to_string().header("Stderr:"))?
} else {
    String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout)
};

println!("{}", output);

Add an error section to an error report, to be displayed after the primary error message section.

Examples
ⓘ
use color_eyre::{eyre::eyre, eyre::Report, Help};
use thiserror::Error;

#[derive(Debug, Error)]
#[error("{0}")]
struct StrError(&'static str);

Err(eyre!("command failed"))
    .error(StrError("got one error"))
    .error(StrError("got a second error"))?;

Add an error section to an error report, to be displayed after the primary error message section. The closure to create the Section is lazily evaluated only in the case of an error.

Examples
ⓘ
use color_eyre::{eyre::eyre, eyre::Report, Help};
use thiserror::Error;

#[derive(Debug, Error)]
#[error("{0}")]
struct StringError(String);

Err(eyre!("command failed"))
    .with_error(|| StringError("got one error".into()))
    .with_error(|| StringError("got a second error".into()))?;

Add a Note to an error report, to be displayed after the chain of errors.

Examples
use color_eyre::Help as _;

fallible_fn().note("This might have failed due to ...")?;

Add a Note to an error report, to be displayed after the chain of errors. The closure to create the Note is lazily evaluated only in the case of an error.

Examples
use color_eyre::Help as _;

fallible_fn().with_note(|| {
        format!("This might have failed due to ... It has failed {} times", 100)
    })?;

Add a Warning to an error report, to be displayed after the chain of errors.

Add a Warning to an error report, to be displayed after the chain of errors. The closure to create the Warning is lazily evaluated only in the case of an error.

Add a Suggestion to an error report, to be displayed after the chain of errors.

Add a Suggestion to an error report, to be displayed after the chain of errors. The closure to create the Suggestion is lazily evaluated only in the case of an error.
