Error Patterns

Overview

Standardized error handling patterns for consistent, production-grade behavior across plugins. Provides error classification, recovery strategies, and debugging workflows.

When To Use

  • Building resilient integrations
  • Need consistent error handling
  • Want graceful degradation
  • Debugging production issues

When NOT To Use

  • Project doesn't use the leyline infrastructure patterns
  • Simple scripts without service architecture needs

Error Classification

By Severity

LevelActionExample
CriticalHalt, alertAuth failure, service down
ErrorRetry or secondary strategyRate limit, timeout
WarningLog, continuePartial results, deprecation
InfoLog onlyNon-blocking issues

By Recoverability

class ErrorCategory(Enum):
    TRANSIENT = "transient"      # Retry likely to succeed
    PERMANENT = "permanent"       # Retry won't help
    CONFIGURATION = "config"      # User action needed
    RESOURCE = "resource"         # Quota/limit issue

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.

Quick Start

Standard Error Handler

from leyline.error_patterns import handle_error, ErrorCategory

try:
    result = service.execute(prompt)
except RateLimitError as e:
    return handle_error(e, ErrorCategory.RESOURCE, {
        "retry_after": e.retry_after,
        "service": "gemini"
    })
except AuthError as e:
    return handle_error(e, ErrorCategory.CONFIGURATION, {
        "action": "Run 'gemini auth login'"
    })

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.

Error Result

@dataclass
class ErrorResult:
    category: ErrorCategory
    message: str
    recoverable: bool
    suggested_action: str
    metadata: dict

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
