Custom Error Types + +**What to Look For**: +- String as error type +- Missing custom error enums +- Library code without specific error types +- No error conversion implementations + +**Bad Pattern**: +```rust +fn validate_email(email: &str) -> Result<(), String> { + if email.is_empty() { + return Err("Email cannot be empty".to_string()); // ❌ String errors + } + Ok(()) +} +``` + +**Good Pattern**: +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum ValidationError { + #[error("Email cannot be empty")] + EmptyEmail, + + #[error("Invalid email format: {0}")] + InvalidFormat(String), + + #[error("Email too long (max {max}, got {actual})")] + TooLong { max: usize, actual: usize }, +} + +fn validate_email(email: &str) -> Result<(), ValidationError> { + if email.is_empty() { + return Err(ValidationError::EmptyEmail); // ✅ Typed error + } + if !email.contains('@') { + return Err(ValidationError::InvalidFormat(email.to_string())); + } + Ok(()) +} +``` + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +Using String as an error type loses type information.

Error Propagation + +**What to Look For**: +- Manual error handling that could use `?` +- Nested match statements for Result +- Losing error context during propagation + +**Bad Pattern**: +```rust +fn process() -> Result { + let config = match load_config() { + Ok(c) => c, + Err(e) => return Err(e), // ❌ Verbose + }; + + let data = match fetch_data(&config) { + Ok(d) => d, + Err(e) => return Err(e), // ❌ Repetitive + }; + + Ok(data) +} +``` + +**Good Pattern**: +```rust +fn process() -> Result { + let config = load_config()?; // ✅ Concise + let data = fetch_data(&config)?; // ✅ Clear + Ok(data) +} +``` + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +You can simplify error propagation using the ? operator: + +fn process() -> Result { + let config = load_config()?; + let data = fetch_data(&config)?; + Ok(data) +} + +The ? operator automatically propagates errors up the call stack. +``` + +### 4. Error Context + +**What to Look For**: +- Errors without context about what operation failed +- Missing information for debugging +- Bare error propagation + +**Bad Pattern**: +```rust +fn load_user_data(id: &str) -> Result { + let user = fetch_user(id)?; // ❌ No context + let profile = fetch_profile(id)?; // ❌ Which operation failed? + Ok(UserData { user, profile }) +} +``` + +**Good Pattern**: +```rust +use anyhow::{Context, Result}; + +fn load_user_data(id: &str) -> Result { + let user = fetch_user(id) + .context(format!("Failed to fetch user {}", id))?; // ✅ Context added + + let profile = fetch_profile(id) + .context(format!("Failed to fetch profile for user {}", id))?; // ✅ Clear context + + Ok(UserData { user, profile }) +} +``` + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +Add context to errors to make debugging easier: + +use anyhow::{Context, Result}; + +let user = fetch_user(id) + .context(format!("Failed to fetch user {}", id))?; + +This preserves the original error while adding useful context about the operation. +``` + +### 5. Error Conversion + +**What to Look For**: +- Missing From implementations +- Manual error conversion +- Incompatible error types + +**Bad Pattern**: +```rust +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum AppError { + #[error("Database error")] + Database(String), // ❌ Loses original error +} + +fn query_db() -> Result { + let result = sqlx::query("SELECT ...").fetch_one(&pool).await + .map_err(|e| AppError::Database(e.to_string()))?; // ❌ Manual conversion, loses details + Ok(result) +} +``` + +**Good Pattern**: +```rust +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum AppError { + #[error("Database error")] + Database(#[from] sqlx::Error), // ✅ Automatic conversion, preserves error +} + +fn query_db() -> Result { + let result = sqlx::query("SELECT ...").fetch_one(&pool).await?; // ✅ Auto-converts + Ok(result) +} +``` + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +Use the #[from] attribute for automatic error conversion: + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum AppError { + #[error("Database error")] + Database(#[from] sqlx::Error), +} + +This implements From for AppError automatically, allowing ? to convert errors. +``` + +### 6.

+ +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("Not found")] + NotFound, + + #[error("Invalid")] + Invalid, +} +``` + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +You can simplify your error type using thiserror: + +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("Not found")] + NotFound, + + #[error("Invalid input")] + Invalid, +} + +This automatically implements Display and std::error::Error. +``` + +### Pattern 2: Error Messages with Fields + +**What to Look For**: +- Error variants with data +- Need to include field values in error messages + +**Patterns**: +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum ValidationError { + // Positional fields (tuple variants) + #[error("Invalid email: {0}")] + InvalidEmail(String), + + // Named fields with standard display + #[error("Value {value} out of range (min: {min}, max: {max})")] + OutOfRange { value: i32, min: i32, max: i32 }, + + // Custom formatting with debug + #[error("Invalid character: {ch:?} at position {pos}")] + InvalidChar { ch: char, pos: usize }, + + // Multiple positional args + #[error("Cannot convert {0} to {1}")] + ConversionFailed(String, String), +} +``` + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +You can include field values in error messages: + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("User {user_id} not found")] + UserNotFound { user_id: String }, + + #[error("Invalid age: {0} (must be >= 18)")] + InvalidAge(u32), +} + +Use {field} for named fields and {0}, {1} for positional fields. +``` + +### Pattern 3: Wrapping Source Errors with #[from] + +**What to Look For**: +- Error variants that wrap other errors +- Missing automatic conversions + +**Pattern**: +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum AppError { + // Automatic From implementation + #[error("IO error")] + Io(#[from] std::io::Error), + + // Multiple source error types + #[error("Database error")] + Database(#[from] sqlx::Error), + + #[error("Serialization error")] + Json(#[from] serde_json::Error), + + // Application-specific errors (no #[from]) + #[error("User not found: {0}")] + UserNotFound(String), +} +``` + +**Benefits**: +- Implements `From for AppError` +- Allows `?` operator to auto-convert +- Preserves source error for debugging + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +Use #[from] to automatically implement From for error conversion: + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum AppError { + #[error("IO error")] + Io(#[from] std::io::Error), + + #[error("Database error")] + Database(#[from] sqlx::Error), +} + +This allows the ? operator to automatically convert these errors to AppError. +``` + +### Pattern 4: Source Error Chain with #[source] + +**What to Look For**: +- Errors that wrap other errors but need custom messages +- Need for error source chain + +**Pattern**: +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum ConfigError { + // #[source] preserves error chain without #[from] + #[error("Failed to load config file")] + LoadFailed(#[source] std::io::Error), + + // #[source] with custom error info + #[error("Invalid config format in {file}")] + InvalidFormat { + file: String, + #[source] + source: toml::de::Error, + }, + + // Both message customization and error chain + #[error("Missing required field: {field}")] + MissingField { + field: String, + #[source] + source: Box, + }, +} +``` + +**Difference from #[from]**: +- `#[from]`: Implements `From` trait (automatic conversion) +- `#[source]`: Only marks as source error (manual construction) + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +Use #[source] when you need custom error construction but want to preserve the error chain: + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("Operation failed for user {user_id}")] + OperationFailed { + user_id: String, + #[source] + source: DatabaseError, + }, +} + +// Construct manually with context +return Err(MyError::OperationFailed { + user_id: id.to_string(), + source: db_error, +}); +``` + +### Pattern 5: Transparent Error Forwarding + +**What to Look For**: +- Wrapper errors that should forward to inner error +- Need for transparent error propagation + +**Pattern**: +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum WrapperError { + // Transparent forwards all Display/source to inner error + #[error(transparent)] + Inner(#[from] InnerError), +} + +// Example: Wrapper for anyhow in library +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum LibError { + #[error(transparent)] + Other(#[from] anyhow::Error), +} +``` + +**Use Cases**: +- Wrapping errors without changing their display +- Re-exporting errors from dependencies +- Internal error handling that shouldn't change messages + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +Use #[error(transparent)] to forward all error information to the inner error: + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error(transparent)] + Wrapped(#[from] InnerError), +} + +This preserves the inner error's Display and source chain completely. +``` + +### Pattern 6: Layered Errors + +**What to Look For**: +- Applications with multiple layers (domain, infrastructure, etc.) +- Need for error conversion between layers + +**Pattern**: +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +// Domain layer errors +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum DomainError { + #[error("Invalid user data: {0}")] + InvalidUser(String), + + #[error("Business rule violated: {0}")] + BusinessRuleViolation(String), +} + +// Infrastructure layer errors +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum InfraError { + #[error("Database error")] + Database(#[from] sqlx::Error), + + #[error("HTTP request failed")] + Http(#[from] reqwest::Error), +} + +// Application layer combines both +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum AppError { + #[error("Domain error: {0}")] + Domain(#[from] DomainError), + + #[error("Infrastructure error: {0}")] + Infra(#[from] InfraError), + + #[error("Application error: {0}")] + Application(String), +} +``` + +**Suggestion Template**: +``` +For layered architectures, create error types for each layer: + +// Domain layer +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum DomainError { + #[error("Invalid data: {0}")] + Invalid(String), +} + +// Infrastructure layer +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum InfraError { + #[error("Database error")] + Database(#[from] sqlx::Error), +} + +// Application layer combines both +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum AppError { + #[error("Domain: {0}")] + Domain(#[from] DomainError), + + #[error("Infra: {0}")] + Infra(#[from] InfraError), +} +``` + +## Advanced Patterns + +### Pattern 7: Generic Error Types + +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum OperationError +where + T: std::error::Error + 'static, +{ + #[error("Operation failed")] + Failed(#[source] T), + + #[error("Timeout after {0} seconds")] + Timeout(u64), +} +``` + +### Pattern 8: Conditional Compilation + +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("IO error")] + Io(#[from] std::io::Error), + + #[cfg(feature = "postgres")] + #[error("Database error")] + Database(#[from] sqlx::Error), + + #[cfg(feature = "redis")] + #[error("Cache error")] + Cache(#[from] redis::RedisError), +} +``` + +### Pattern 9: Enum with Unit and Complex Variants + +```rust +use thiserror::Error; + +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum ValidationError { + // Unit variant + #[error("Value is required")] + Required, + + // Tuple variant + #[error("Invalid format: {0}")] + InvalidFormat(String), + + // Struct variant + #[error("Out of range (expected {expected}, got {actual})")] + OutOfRange { expected: String, actual: String }, + + // Nested error + #[error("Validation failed")] + Nested(#[from] SubValidationError), +} +``` + +## Best Practices + +### DO: Clear, Actionable Error Messages + +```rust +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum ConfigError { + // ✅ Clear and actionable + #[error("Config file not found at '{path}'. Create one using: config init")] + NotFound { path: String }, + + // ✅ Explains what's wrong and expected format + #[error("Invalid port number '{port}'. Expected a number between 1 and 65535")] + InvalidPort { port: String }, +} +``` + +### DON'T: Vague Error Messages + +```rust +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum BadError { + // ❌ Too vague + #[error("Error")] + Error, + + // ❌ Not helpful + #[error("Something went wrong")] + Failed, +} +``` + +### DO: Include Context + +```rust +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum AppError { + // ✅ Includes what, where, and source + #[error("Failed to read file '{path}'")] + ReadFailed { + path: String, + #[source] + source: std::io::Error, + }, +} +``` + +### DO: Type Aliases for Result + +```rust +pub type Result = std::result::Result; + +// Now you can use: +pub fn operation() -> Result { + Ok(value) +} +``` + +## Common Mistakes + +### Mistake 1: Forgetting #[source] + +```rust +// ❌ BAD: Source error not marked +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("Failed")] + Failed(std::io::Error), // Missing #[source] +} + +// ✅ GOOD: Properly marked +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("Failed")] + Failed(#[source] std::io::Error), +} +``` + +### Mistake 2: Using #[from] When You Need Custom Construction + +```rust +// ❌ Can't add context with #[from] +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("Failed")] + Failed(#[from] std::io::Error), +} + +// ✅ Use #[source] for custom construction +#[derive(Error, Debug)] +pub enum MyError { + #[error("Failed to read config file '{path}'")] + ConfigReadFailed { + path: String, + #[source] + source: std::io::Error, + }, +} +``` + +## Your Approach + +1. **Detect**: Identify error type definitions or thiserror usage +2. **Analyze**: Check message clarity, source chaining, and conversions +3. **Suggest**: Provide specific improvements +4. **Educate**: Explain when to use #[from] vs #[source] vs #[transparent] + +## Communication Style + +- Suggest thiserror for any custom error type +- Explain the difference between #[from], #[source], and #[transparent] +- Provide complete error type examples +- Show how the error will be displayed +- Point out missing error chains + +When you see custom error types, immediately suggest thiserror patterns that will make them more ergonomic and idiomatic.
