Mapping Errors

Now let's get more rust idiomatic by using .map_err().

use crate::chainerror::*;

use std::error::Error;
use std::io;
use std::result::Result;

fn do_some_io() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    Err(io::Error::from(io::ErrorKind::NotFound))?;
    Ok(())
}

fn func2() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    do_some_io().map_err(|e| cherr!(e, "func2 error"))?;
    Ok(())
}

fn func1() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    func2().map_err(|e| cherr!(e, "func1 error"))?;
    Ok(())
}

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    if let Err(e) = func1() {
        eprintln!("{:?}", e);
    }
    Ok(())
}
# #[allow(dead_code)]
# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError<T>` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`
# //!

If you compare the output to the previous example, you will see, that:

Error: src/main.rs:19: "func1 error"

changed to just:

src/main.rs:16: "func1 error"

This is, because we caught the error of func1() in main() and print it out ourselves.

We can now control, whether to output in Debug or Display mode. Maybe depending on --debug as a CLI argument.
