Walkthrough

The changes expand and clarify documentation for error handling utilities, particularly around temporary and timeout errors, without altering any logic. Comprehensive new tests are added to cover error construction, wrapping, coalescing, and predicate functions, ensuring correct behaviour and interface compatibility. Only comments and tests are modified; no production code changes occur.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
README.md Expanded and clarified documentation for temporary and timeout error handling, including function and type usage.
errors.go Replaced brief comments with detailed documentation for error utility functions; no logic changes.
errors_test.go Added extensive new test cases and functions for error wrapping, coalescing, predicates, and interface coverage.

Poem

In the warren of code, where errors may hop,
New docs and fresh tests make the confusion stop.
With temporary and timeout, all clarified anew,
The functions are tested, their contracts in view.
🐇 Cheers to the team—this patch is top!

9-9: Good use of named constant for test clarity.

The emptyString constant improves test readability and consistency when testing empty string scenarios.


76-132: Excellent comprehensive test coverage for QuietWrap.

The test implementation follows Go best practices with:

  • Well-structured test cases covering edge cases (nil errors, empty format)
  • Proper use of t.Helper() in test methods
  • Verification of both error messages and unwrapping behavior
  • Clean constructor pattern for test case creation

134-175: Well-structured CoalesceError test coverage.

The test implementation maintains consistency with the testing pattern and provides comprehensive coverage of coalescing scenarios including edge cases like all nil errors and empty slices.


177-213: Comprehensive IsError test coverage with proper edge case handling.

The test implementation covers all relevant scenarios including wrapped error detection and empty target lists, maintaining the established testing pattern.


215-297: Thorough TemporaryError test implementation with interface verification.

The test implementation excellently covers:

  • Both constructor functions with flexible test structure
  • Interface compliance for both modern and legacy methods
  • Edge cases including nil errors and empty strings

293-308: Use British English spelling: "behaviour" instead of "behavior".

The documentation should use British English as per the coding guidelines.

-// It checks if the error implements Temporary() bool or IsTemporary() bool
-// interfaces directly, without traversing wrapped error chains.

errors.go (3)

325-341: Excellent documentation for IsTemporary.

The documentation clearly explains the recursive nature of the function, the interfaces it checks, and provides helpful usage guidance.


346-363: Well-structured documentation for CheckIsTimeout.

The documentation clearly distinguishes this function from CheckIsTemporary and provides helpful context about the relationship between timeout and temporary errors.


380-396: Clear and comprehensive documentation for IsTimeout.

The documentation effectively explains the recursive error chain traversal and provides practical usage guidance for distinguishing timeout errors.

README.md (1)

215-228: Excellent documentation improvements for error handling utilities.

The expanded documentation clearly explains the dual interface support, distinguishes between recursive and non-recursive checks, and maintains consistency with the enhanced function documentation in errors.go.

74-130: Comprehensive test coverage for QuietWrap.

Excellent table-driven test implementation with good coverage of edge cases including nil errors, empty formats, and various formatting scenarios.


132-173: Well-structured tests for CoalesceError.

The tests effectively cover all scenarios including edge cases with clear, descriptive test names.


175-211: Thorough test coverage for IsError.

Important test case that ensures methods handle nil receivers gracefully without panicking.


297-339: Comprehensive tests for CheckIsTemporary.

Effectively tests both return values and covers all error types including the fallback to CheckIsTimeout behaviour.


341-382: Well-designed tests for recursive IsTemporary.

Good inclusion of wrapped error test case to verify the recursive behaviour documented in the function.


384-426: Thorough tests for CheckIsTimeout.

Maintains consistency with CheckIsTemporary tests and properly validates the dual return value behaviour.

Effectively distinguishes between temporary and timeout errors while validating recursive error chain traversal.

amery added 2 commits July 18, 2025 17:29
Add complete test coverage for error utility and checking functions:

Error Utilities:
- QuietWrap: 6 test cases covering nil error, formatting, and wrapping
- CoalesceError: 8 test cases covering first-non-nil error selection
- IsError: 9 test cases covering error matching and unwrapping
- NewTimeoutError/NewTemporaryError: 6 test cases with interface methods
- TemporaryError: nil receiver behavior testing

Error Checking Functions:
- CheckIsTemporary: 4 test cases covering temporary error detection
- IsTemporary: 5 test cases including wrapped error recursion
- CheckIsTimeout: 4 test cases covering timeout error detection
- IsTimeout: 5 test cases including wrapped error recursion

Introduces factory functions (quietWrapTest, coalesceErrorTest,
temporaryErrorTest, newCheckIsTemporaryTestCase, etc.) for clean
test syntax and uses S() helper consistently.

Achieves 100% coverage for QuietWrap, CoalesceError, IsError,
NewTimeoutError, NewTemporaryError, IsTemporary, and IsTimeout.
CheckIsTemporary and CheckIsTimeout reach 80% coverage.

Improve Go documentation for error checking functions to match the
comprehensive style used in other well-documented modules:

Error Checking Functions Enhanced:
- CheckIsTemporary: detailed interface priority order, return value semantics
- IsTemporary: comprehensive recursive traversal explanation, usage guidance
- CheckIsTimeout: timeout-specific interface documentation, edge case behavior
- IsTimeout: recursive timeout detection with practical usage examples

Documentation improvements include:
- Detailed function purpose and behavior descriptions
- Interface examination priority order explanations
- Clear return value semantics with (is, known) tuple documentation
- Comprehensive edge case handling (nil errors, unknown interfaces)
- Practical usage guidance for retry logic and error handling
- Technical implementation details (unwrapping patterns, traversal methods)

README.md improvements:
- Enhanced error section descriptions with detailed function behavior
- Clarified recursive vs single-level checking differences
- Added return value explanations and interface implementation details
- Improved consistency with other module documentation styles

Brings error checking function documentation to the same comprehensive
standard as other well-documented modules like stack.go, context.go,
and splithostport.go.
