* Extended stacktrace output
* Make format tests less sensitive to sourcecode prefix
* use testFormatRegexp for all Sprintf tests
* replace output test with sample output
* work around the different fn.Name format in go 1.4
* fix windows tests when there is a drive letter in the source path
* Introduce errors.Stacktrace
Introduce a new type to replace the unnamed return value from
`Stacktrace()`. `Stacktrace` implements `fmt.Formatter` and currently
replicates the default behaviour of printing a `[]Frame`.
In a future PR the values of `%+v` and `%#v` will be extended to
implement a more readable stacktrace.
* Use fmt.Formatter throughout
Replace Fprintf with fmt.Formatter logic on various types. This
effectively guts Fprint to be just a recursive call down the err.Cause
chain. The next step will be to move this recursive logic into
wrapper.Format.
This change necessitates adding types for the error impls returned from
New and Errorf, and Wrap and Wrapf, respectively. The name of the latter
type is acceptable, the former is not and alternative suggestions are
encouraged.
- Remove cause.Format
- Added fmt.Formatter tests. The location is temporary, once this PR is merged and Fprint removed
they will be merged into errors_test.go
* Introduce Stacktrace and Frame
This PR is a continuation of a series aimed at exposing the stack trace
information embedded in each error value. The secondary effect is to
deprecated the `Fprintf` helper.
Taking cues from from @chrishines' `stack` package this PR introduces a
new interface `Stacktrace() []Frame` and a `Frame` type, similar in
function to the `runtime.Frame` type (although lacking its iterator
type). Each `Frame` implemnts `fmt.Formatter` allowing it to print
itself.
The older `Location` interface is still supported but also deprecated.
`errors.wrap` existed to avoid the conflict between the type,
`errors.cause` and the formal parameter `cause`. The parameter was
renamed to err in #32 so there is no need for the helper.
Fixed#29
errors.New, etc values are not expected to be compared by value but
the change in errors#27 made them incomparable. Assert that various
kinds of errors have a functional equality operator, even if the
result of that equality is always false.
Refactory errors.location to be a stack of callers rather than the
topmost caller. This is in perparation for storing the entire error
stack inside topmost error.
errors.Print had a number of problems. Firstly, it was hard coded to
print to os.Stderr, which made it difficult to test, and hard to write
an example test for. Secondly, comments made in issue #20 make it clear
that helpers need to have a high bar for inclusion in this package, and
something that wrapped errors.Fprint in a way that was hard to test
fails that bar.
So, Remove errors.Print, which frees the identifier for being reused
later, and reduces the size of the package.
* rename loc type to location
* move locationer interface inside Fprint, rename to location
* refactor Wrap/Wrapf into helper method
* remove errors.e type, compose an anon struct in wrap and add a Message() interface method to extract the cause message
