Error management in command's action

Vincent Peybernes edited this page Jul 26, 2013 · 3 revisions

Command.IO provide a custom error management system, to protect the application execution from end user error.

CommandError type.

Command.IO provide two custom error type: CommandError and RuntimeCommandError. This errors inherit of the JavaScript Error object with two additionnal properties: the command name what throw the error and the severity levelof the error.

The error are provided by the command controler (this in action function).

Catching system

All errors throwed in command action are analysed by Command.IO.

  • If a RuntimeCommandError are catch it throwed on runtime and stop the execution.
  • If is a CommandError and if his severity level is under the catching level, the error are only logged. Else it throwed on runtime.

Only CommandError are catch for now.

The catching level can be configured in the command descriptor with the èxceptionCatchLvl`property. View command descriptor

Exemple

// Load module : require('command.io')
var commandio = require('..');

commandio.addCommand({
	name: 'notice',
	description: 'This command only log a notice',
	action: function(){
		// Throw error with notice level.
		throw new this.CommandError('This is a notice.', this.errorLvl.notice);
	}
});

commandio.addCommand({
	name: 'error',
	description: 'This command only log an error',
	action: function(){
		// Throw error with default error level.
		throw new this.CommandError('This is an error.');
	}
});

commandio.addCommand({
	name: 'critical',
	description: 'This command throw a critical error and stop program.',
	action: function(){
		// Throw error with critical error level.
		throw new this.CommandError('This is an error.', this.errorLvl.critical);
	}
});

commandio.addCommand({
	name: 'throw-error',
	description: 'This command throw an error and stop program',
	exceptionCatchLvl: commandio.errorLvl.error,
	action: function(){
		// Throw error with default error level.
		throw new this.CommandError('This is an error.');
	}
});

commandio.addCommand({
	name: 'runtime',
	description: 'This throw a runtime error and stop program',
	action: function(){
		// Throw runtime error.
		throw new this.RuntimeCommandError('This is a runtime error.');
	}
});
