fs_err/

lib.rs

/*!
fs-err is a drop-in replacement for [`std::fs`][std::fs] that provides more
helpful messages on errors. Extra information includes which operations was
attempted and any involved paths.

# Error Messages

Using [`std::fs`][std::fs], if this code fails:

```no_run
# use std::fs::File;
let file = File::open("does not exist.txt")?;
# Ok::<(), std::io::Error>(())
```

The error message that Rust gives you isn't very useful:

```txt
The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)
```

...but if we use fs-err instead, our error contains more actionable information:

```txt
failed to open file `does not exist.txt`: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)
```

# Usage

fs-err's API is the same as [`std::fs`][std::fs], so migrating code to use it is easy.

```no_run
// use std::fs;
use fs_err as fs;

let contents = fs::read_to_string("foo.txt")?;

println!("Read foo.txt: {}", contents);

# Ok::<(), std::io::Error>(())
```

fs-err uses [`std::io::Error`][std::io::Error] for all errors. This helps fs-err
compose well with traits from the standard library like
[`std::io::Read`][std::io::Read] and crates that use them like
[`serde_json`][serde_json]:

```no_run
use fs_err::File;

let file = File::open("my-config.json")?;

// If an I/O error occurs inside serde_json, the error will include a file path
// as well as what operation was being performed.
let decoded: Vec<String> = serde_json::from_reader(file)?;

println!("Program config: {:?}", decoded);

# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
```

# Feature flags

* `expose_original_error`: when enabled, the [`Error::source()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/error/trait.Error.html#method.source) method of errors returned by this crate return the original `io::Error`. To avoid duplication in error messages,
  this also suppresses printing its message in their `Display` implementation, so make sure that you are printing the full error chain.


# Minimum Supported Rust Version

The oldest rust version this crate is tested on is **1.40**.

This crate will generally be conservative with rust version updates. It uses the [`autocfg`](https://crates.io/crates/autocfg) crate to allow wrapping new APIs without incrementing the MSRV.

If the `tokio` feature is enabled, this crate will inherit the MSRV of the selected [`tokio`](https://crates.io/crates/tokio) version.
