NAME

Workflow::Exception - Base class for workflow exceptions

VERSION

This documentation describes version 1.52 of this package

SYNOPSIS

 # Standard usage
 use Workflow::Exception qw( workflow_error );

 my $user = $wf->context->param( 'current_user' );
 unless ( $user->check_password( $entered_password ) ) {
   workflow_error "User exists but password check failed";
 }

 # Pass a list of strings to form the message

 unless ( $user->check_password( $entered_password ) ) {
   workflow_error 'Bad login: ', $object->login_attempted;
 }

 # Using other exported shortcuts

 use Workflow::Exception qw( configuration_error );
 configuration_error "Field 'foo' must be a set to 'bar'";

 use Workflow::Exception qw( validation_error );
 validation_error "Validation for field 'foo' failed: $error";

DESCRIPTION

First, you should probably look at Exception::Class for more usage examples, why we use exceptions, what they are intended for, etc.

This is the base class for all workflow exceptions. It declares a handful of exceptions and provides shortcuts to make raising an exception easier and more readable.

METHODS

throw( @msg, [ \%params ])

This overrides throw() from Exception::Class to add a little syntactic sugar. Instead of:

 $exception_class->throw( message => 'This is my very long error message that I would like to pass',
                          param1  => 'Param1 value',
                          param2  => 'Param2 value' );

You can use:

 $exception_class->throw( 'This is my very long error message ',
                          'that I would like to pass',
                          { param1 => 'Param1 value',
                            param2 => 'Param2 value' } );

And everything will work the same. Combined with the SHORTCUTS this makes for very readable code:

 workflow_error "Something went horribly, terribly, dreadfully, "
                "frightfully wrong: $@",
                { foo => 'bar' };

condition_error

This method transforms the error to a condition error.

This exception is thrown via </mythrow> when a condition of a workflow is invalid.

configuration_error

This method transforms the error to a configuration error.

This exception is thrown via </mythrow> when configuration of a workflow is unsuccessful.

persist_error

This method transforms the error to a persistance error.

This exception is thrown via </mythrow> when the save of a workflow is unsuccessful.

validation_error

This method transforms the error to a validation error.

This exception is thrown via </mythrow> when input data or similar of a workflow is unsuccessful.

workflow_error

This method transforms the error to a workflow error.

This exception is thrown via </mythrow> when input data or similar of a workflow is unsuccessful.
