box.error()

box.error()¶

When called without arguments, box.error() re-throws whatever the last error was.

box.error{reason = string[, code = number]}

Throw an error. When called with a Lua-table argument, the code and reason have any user-desired values. The result will be those values.

Parameters:	reason (string) – description of an error, defined by user code (integer) – numeric code for this error, defined by user

box.error(code, errtext[, errtext ...])

Throw an error. This method emulates a request error, with text based on one of the pre-defined Tarantool errors defined in the file errcode.h in the source tree. Lua constants which correspond to those Tarantool errors are defined as members of box.error, for example box.error.NO_SUCH_USER == 45.

Parameters:	code (number) – number of a pre-defined error errtext(s) (string) – part of the message which will accompany the error

For example:

the NO_SUCH_USER message is “User '%s' is not found” – it includes one “%s” component which will be replaced with errtext. Thus a call to box.error(box.error.NO_SUCH_USER, 'joe') or box.error(45, 'joe') will result in an error with the accompanying message “User 'joe' is not found”.

Except:	whatever is specified in errcode-number.

box.error() accepts two sets of arguments:

• error code and reason/errtext (box.error{code = 555, reason = 'Arbitrary message'}), or
• error object (box.error(err)).

In both cases the error is promoted as the last error.

Example:

tarantool> e1 = box.error.new({code = 111, reason = 'Сause'})
---
...
tarantool> box.error(e1)
---
- error: Сause
...
tarantool> box.error{code = 555, reason = 'Arbitrary message'}
---
- error: Arbitrary message
...
tarantool> box.error()
---
- error: Arbitrary message
...
tarantool> box.error(box.error.FUNCTION_ACCESS_DENIED, 'A', 'B', 'C')
---
- error: A access denied for user 'B' to function 'C'
...
