Module: AWS::Core::LazyErrorClasses

Included in:
AutoScaling::Errors, AWS::CloudFormation::Errors, DynamoDB::Errors, EC2::Errors, ELB::Errors, IAM::Errors, S3::Errors, SNS::Errors, SQS::Errors, STS::Errors, SimpleDB::Errors, SimpleEmailService::Errors, SimpleWorkflow::Errors
Defined in:
lib/aws/core/lazy_error_classes.rb

Overview

Provides lazy creation of error classes via #const_missing.

Extend this module provides 3 benefits to another module:

  • A method that accepts strings and returns error classes.

  • Thread-safe dynamic error class creation via #const_missing

  • An error grammar for parsing AWS xml errors

Here is an example of how it works:

Class Foo 
  module Errors
    extend AWS::Core::LazyErrorClasses
  end
end

Foo::Errors.error_class('NoSuchKey')
#=> Foo::Errors::NoSuckKey

Foo::Errors.error_class('Nested.Error.Klasses')
#=> Foo::Errors::Nested::Error::Klasses

The errors returned from #error_class are subclasses of Errors::Base.

Instance Method Details

#const_missing(constant) ⇒ nil

def const_missing constant
  const_missing_mutex.synchronize do
    const_set(constant, Class.new(Errors::Base) { extend LazyErrorClasses })
  end
end

#error_class(code) ⇒ Class

Converts the error code into an error class constant.

AWS::EC2::Errors.error_class('Non.Existent.Error')
#=> AWS::EC2::Errors::Non::Existent::Error

Parameters:

  • code (String) —

    An AWS error code.

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    Returns the error class defiend by the error code.
