A recurring pattern in Go programming is the following:
|
|
|
|
func myfunc(params) error {
|
|
if err := doSomething(...); err != nil {
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
if err := doSomethingElse(...); err != nil {
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
if ok := doAnotherThing(...); !ok {
|
|
return errors.New("my error")
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This pattern allows interrupting the flow on any received error. But what if
|
|
there are errors that should be noted but still not fatal, for which the flow
|
|
should not be interrupted? Implementing such logic at each if statement would
|
|
make the code complex and the flow much harder to follow.
|
|
|
|
Package warnings provides the Collector type and a clean and simple pattern
|
|
for achieving such logic. The Collector takes care of deciding when to break
|
|
the flow and when to continue, collecting any non-fatal errors (warnings)
|
|
along the way. The only requirement is that fatal and non-fatal errors can be
|
|
distinguished programmatically; that is a function such as
|
|
|
|
IsFatal(error) bool
|
|
|
|
must be implemented. The following is an example of what the above snippet
|
|
could look like using the warnings package:
|
|
|
|
import "gopkg.in/warnings.v0"
|
|
|
|
func isFatal(err error) bool {
|
|
_, ok := err.(WarningType)
|
|
return !ok
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func myfunc(params) error {
|
|
c := warnings.NewCollector(isFatal)
|
|
c.FatalWithWarnings = true
|
|
if err := c.Collect(doSomething()); err != nil {
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
if err := c.Collect(doSomethingElse(...)); err != nil {
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
if ok := doAnotherThing(...); !ok {
|
|
if err := c.Collect(errors.New("my error")); err != nil {
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
return c.Done()
|
|
}
|
|
|

Rules for using warnings
|
|
|
|
- ensure that warnings are programmatically distinguishable from fatal
|
|
errors (i.e. implement an isFatal function and any necessary error types)
|
|
- ensure that there is a single Collector instance for a call of each
|
|
exported function
|
|
- ensure that all errors (fatal or warning) are fed through Collect
|
|
- ensure that every time an error is returned, it is one returned by a
|
|
Collector (from Collect or Done)
|
|
- ensure that Collect is never called after Done
