# Debug for the ErrorKind
One small improvement at the end of the tutorial is to fix the debug output of
`Func1ErrorKind`. As you probably noticed, the output doesn't say much of the enum.
~~~
Debug Error:
src/main.rs:35: Func2
[…]
~~~
As a lazy shortcut, we implement `Debug` by calling `Display` and end up with
~~~
Debug Error:
src/main.rs:40: func1 error calling func2
[…}
~~~
which gives us a lot more detail.
To create your own Errors, you might find [crates](https://crates.io) which create enum `Display+Debug` via derive macros.
Also noteworthy is [custom_error](https://crates.io/crates/custom_error) to define your custom errors,
which can then be used with `chainerror`.
