# Simple Chained String Errors
With relatively small changes and the help of the `context()` method of the `chainerror` crate
the `&str` errors are now chained together.
Press the play button in the upper right corner and see the nice debug output.

### What did we do here?
~~~rust,ignore

The function `context(newerror)` stores `olderror` as the source/cause of `newerror`
along with the `Location` of the `context()` call and returns `Err(newerror)`.
`?` then returns the inner error applying `.into()`, so that we
again have a `Err(Box<Error + Send + Sync>)` as a result.
The `Debug` implementation of `ChainError<T>` (which is returned by `context()`)
prints the `Debug` of `T` prefixed with the stored filename and line number.
`ChainError<T>` in our case is `ChainError<&str>`.
