NAME¶
Error::TypeTiny - exceptions for Type::Tiny and friends
SYNOPSIS¶
use Data::Dumper; use Try::Tiny; use Types::Standard qw(Str); try { Str->assert_valid(undef); } catch { my $exception = shift; warn "Encountered Error: $exception"; warn Dumper($exception->explain) if $exception->isa("Error::TypeTiny::Assertion"); };
STATUS¶
This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.
DESCRIPTION¶
When Type::Tiny and its related modules encounter an error, they throw an exception object. These exception objects inherit from Error::TypeTiny.
Constructors¶
- "new(%attributes)"
- Moose-style constructor function.
- "throw(%attributes)"
- Constructs an exception and passes it to
"die".
Automatically populates "context" and "stack_trace" if appropriate.
- "throw_cb($callback, %attributes)"
- Constructs an exception and passes it to $callback
which should be a coderef; if undef, uses
"die".
Automatically populates "context" and "stack_trace" if appropriate.
Attributes¶
- "message"
- The error message.
- "context"
- Hashref containing the package, file and line that generated the error.
- "stack_trace"
- A more complete stack trace. This feature requires Devel::StackTrace; use the $StackTrace package variable to switch it on.
Methods¶
- "to_string"
- Returns the message, followed by the context if it is set.
Functions¶
- "Error::TypeTiny::croak($format, @args)"
- Functional-style shortcut to "throw" method. Takes an "sprintf"-style format string and optional arguments to construct the "message".
Overloading¶
- •
- Stringification is overloaded to call "to_string".
Package Variables¶
- %Carp::CarpInternal
- Error::TypeTiny honours this package variable from Carp. ( %Error::TypeTiny::CarpInternal is an alias for it.)
- $Error::TypeTiny::StackTrace
- Boolean to toggle stack trace generation.
- $Error::TypeTiny::LastError
- A reference to the last exception object thrown.
CAVEATS¶
Although Error::TypeTiny objects are thrown for errors produced by Type::Tiny, that doesn't mean every time you use Type::Tiny you'll get Error::TypeTinys whenever you want.
For example, if you use a Type::Tiny type constraint in a Moose attribute, Moose will not call the constraint's "assert_valid" method (which throws an exception). Instead it will call "check" and "get_message" (which do not), and will "confess" an error message of its own. (The $LastError package variable may save your bacon.)
