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. See documentation in the base class.
METHODS
See documentation in the base class. Constructors See documentation in the base class. $obj->close() Only when initiated with a FILENAME, the file will be closed. In any other case, nothing will be done. Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try->new(TYPE, NAME, OPTIONS) -Option --Defined in --Default accept Log::Report::Dispatcher depend on mode charset Log::Report::Dispatcher <undef> died undef exceptions [] format_reason Log::Report::Dispatcher 'LOWERCASE' locale Log::Report::Dispatcher <system locale> mode Log::Report::Dispatcher 'NORMAL' accept => REASONS charset => CHARSET died => STRING The exit string ($@) of the eval'ed block. exceptions => ARRAY-of-EXCEPTIONS format_reason => 'UPPERCASE'|'LOWERCASE'|'UCFIRST'|'IGNORE'|CODE locale => LOCALE mode => 'NORMAL'|'VERBOSE'|'ASSERT'|'DEBUG'|0..3 Accessors See documentation in the base class. $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() See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->mode() See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->name() See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->needs() See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->type() See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher Logging See documentation in the base class. $obj->collectLocation() Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try->collectLocation() See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->collectStack([MAXDEPTH]) Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try->collectStack([MAXDEPTH]) 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) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->translate(HASH-of-OPTIONS, REASON, MESSAGE) 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
See documentation in the base class.
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.
