NAME¶
Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try - capture all reports as exceptions
INHERITANCE¶
Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try
is a Log::Report::Dispatcher
SYNOPSIS¶
try { ... }; # mind the ';' !!
if($@) { # signals something went wrong
if(try {...}) { # block ended normally
my $x = try { read_temperature() };
my @x = try { read_lines_from_file() };
try { ... } # no comma!!
mode => 'DEBUG', accept => 'ERROR-';
try sub { ... }, # with comma
mode => 'DEBUG', accept => 'ALL';
try \&myhandler, accept => 'ERROR-';
print ref $@; # Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try
$@->reportFatal; # re-dispatch result of try block
$@->reportAll; # ... also warnings etc
if($@) {...} # if errors
if($@->failed) { # same # }
if($@->success) { # no errors # }
try { # something causes an error report, which is caught
report {to => 'stderr'}, FAILURE => 'no network';
};
$@->reportFatal(to => 'syslog'); # overrule destination
print $@->exceptions; # no re-cast, just print
DESCRIPTION¶
The
Log::Report::try() catches errors in the block (CODE reference) which
is just following the function name. All dispatchers are temporarily disabled
by "try", and messages which are reported are collected within a
temporary dispatcher named "try". When the CODE has run, that
"try" dispatcher is returned in $@, and all original dispatchers
reinstated.
Then, after the "try" has finished, the routine which used the
"try" should decide what to do with the collected reports. These
reports are collected as Log::Report::Exception objects. They can be ignored,
or thrown to a higher level try... causing an exit of the program if there is
none.

Constructors¶
Extends "Constructors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher.
- $obj->close()
- Only when initiated with a FILENAME, the file will be closed. In any other
case, nothing will be done.
- Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try->new($type, $name, %options)
-
-Option --Defined in --Default
accept Log::Report::Dispatcher depend on mode
charset Log::Report::Dispatcher <undef>
died undef
exceptions []
format_reason Log::Report::Dispatcher 'LOWERCASE'
locale Log::Report::Dispatcher <system locale>
mode Log::Report::Dispatcher 'NORMAL'
- accept => REASONS
- charset => CHARSET
- died => STRING
- The exit string ($@) of the eval'ed block.
- exceptions => ARRAY
- ARRAY of Log::Report::Exception objects.
- format_reason => 'UPPERCASE'|'LOWERCASE'|'UCFIRST'|'IGNORE'|CODE
- locale => LOCALE
- mode => 'NORMAL'|'VERBOSE'|'ASSERT'|'DEBUG'|0..3
Accessors¶
Extends "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher.
- $obj->died( [STRING] )
- The message which was reported by "eval", which is used
internally to catch problems in the try block.
- $obj->exceptions()
- Returns all collected "Log::Report::Exceptions". The last of
them may be a fatal one. The other are non-fatal.
- $obj->isDisabled()
- Inherited, see "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
- $obj->mode()
- Inherited, see "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
- $obj->name()
- Inherited, see "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
- $obj->needs( [$reason] )
- Inherited, see "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
- $obj->type()
- Inherited, see "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
Logging¶
Extends "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher.
- $obj->collectLocation()
- Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try->collectLocation()
- Inherited, see "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
- $obj->collectStack( [$maxdepth] )
- Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try->collectStack( [$maxdepth] )
- Inherited, see "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
- $obj->log($opts, $reason, $message)
- Other dispatchers translate the message here, and make it leave the
program. However, messages in a "try" block are only captured in
an intermediate layer: they may never be presented to an end-users. And
for sure, we do not know the language yet.
The $message is either a STRING or a Log::Report::Message.
- $obj->reportAll(%options)
- Re-cast the messages in all collect exceptions into the defined
dispatchers, which were disabled during the try block. The %options will
end-up as HASH of %options to Log::Report::report(); see
Log::Report::Exception::throw() which does the job.
- $obj->reportFatal()
- Re-cast only the fatal message to the defined dispatchers. If the block
was left without problems, then nothing will be done. The %options will
end-up as HASH of %options to Log::Report::report(); see
Log::Report::Exception::throw() which does the job.
- $obj->stackTraceLine(%options)
- Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try->stackTraceLine(%options)
- Inherited, see "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
- $obj->translate(HASH-$of-%options, $reason, $message)
- Inherited, see "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher
Status¶
- $obj->failed()
- Returns true if the block was left with an fatal message.
- $obj->showStatus()
- If this object is kept in $@, and someone uses this as string, we want to
show the fatal error message.
The message is not very informative for the good cause: we do not want
people to simply print the $@, but wish for a re-cast of the message using
reportAll() or reportFatal().
- $obj->success()
- Returns true if the block exited normally.
- $obj->wasFatal(%options)
- Returns the Log::Report::Exception which caused the "try" block
to die, otherwise an empty LIST (undef).
-Option--Default
class undef
- class => CLASS|REGEX
- Only return the exception if it was fatal, and in the same time in the
specified CLASS (as string) or matches the REGEX. See
Log::Report::Message::inClass()
DETAILS¶
Extends "DETAILS" in Log::Report::Dispatcher.
OVERLOADING¶
- overload: boolean
- Returns true if the previous try block did produce a terminal error. This
"try" object is assigned to $@, and the usual perl syntax is
"if($@) {...error-handler...}".
- overload: stringify
- When $@ is used the traditional way, it is checked to have a string
content. In this case, stringify into the fatal error or nothing.
