Errors

As much as possible, errors returned by all projects (notably Cicero and the Ergo compiler) are normalized and categorized in order to facilitate handling of those error by the application code. Those errors are raised as JavaScript exceptions.

Errors Hierarchy

The hierarchy of errors (or exceptions) is shown on the following diagram:

Errors Model

For reference, those can also be described using the following Concerto model:

namespace org.accordproject.errors
/** Common */
concept LocationPoint {
 o Integer line
 o Integer column
 o Integer offset optional
}
concept FileLocation {
 o LocationPoint start
 o LocationPoint end
}
concept BaseException {
   o String component // Node component the error originates from
 o String name      // name of the class
 o String message
}
concept BaseFileException extends BaseException {
   o FileLocation fileLocation
   o String shortMessage
   o String fileName
}
concept ParseException extends BaseFileException {
}
/* Model errors */
concept ValidationException extends BaseException {
}
concept TypeNotFoundException extends BaseException {
   o String typeName
}
concept IllegalModelException extends BaseFileException {
   o String modelFile
}
/* Ergo errors */
concept CompilerException extends BaseFileException {
}
concept TypeException extends BaseFileException {
}
concept SystemException extends BaseFileException {
}
/* Cicero errors */
concept TemplateException extends ParseException {
}
