Expand description

An enumeration of possible errors.

This will create a number of context selectors:

Leaf errors

Context selectors for error variants without a source, such as LeafSnafu, have methods to construct them, such as LeafSnafu::build or LeafSnafu::fail. The ensure macro also accepts these kinds of context selectors.

use snafu::prelude::*;

fn always_fails() -> Result<(), Error> {
    LeafSnafu { user_id: 42 }.fail()
}

fn sometimes_fails(user_id: i32) -> Result<(), Error> {
    ensure!(user_id > 0, LeafSnafu { user_id });
    Ok(())
}

Intermediate errors

Context selectors for error variants with a source, such as IntermediateSnafu, are intended to be used with the ResultExt::context family of methods.

use snafu::prelude::*;

fn load_config_file() -> Result<usize, Error> {
    let config = std::fs::read_to_string("/path/to/my/config/file").context(IntermediateSnafu)?;
    Ok(config.len())
}
