NAME

WebService::GData::Error - create an error and parse errors from Google data APIs v2.

SYNOPSIS

    use WebService::GData::Error;

    #create an error object that you can throw by dying...
    my $error = new WebService::GData::Error(401,'Unauthorized');
    # $error->code;
    # $error->content;

    #create an error object in response to a Google Service.
    my $error = new WebService::GData::Error(401,$responseFromAService);
    print $error->code;
    print $error->content;#raw xml content

    my @errors = $error->errors;#send back WebService::GData::Error::Entry objects

    foreach my $error (@{$error->errors}){
        print $error->code;
        print $error->internalreason;
        print $error->domain;
        print $error->location->{type};#this is just a hash
        print $error->location->{content};#this is just a hash
    }

DESCRIPTION

inherits from WebService::GData.

This package can parse error response from Google APIs service. You can also create your own basic error. All WebService::GData::* classes die a WebService::GData::Error object when something goes wrong. You should use an eval {}; block to catch the error.

Example:

    use WebService::GData::Base;

    my $base = new WebService::GData::Base();
        
    eval {
        $base->get($url);
    };
        
    #$error is a WebService::GData::Error;
        
    if(my $error=$@){
        #error->code,$error->content, $error->errors
    }

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Create a WebService::GData::Error instance. Will parse the contents that you can access via the errors() method of the instance.

Parameters

code:* - This could be an http status or a short string error_code.

content:Scalar - The string can be a Google xml error response, in which case, it will get parsed.

Returns

WebService::GData::Error

Example:

    use WebService::GData::Error;

    #create an error object that you can throw by dying...
    my $error = new WebService::GData::Error(401,'Unauthorized');
        

GET METHODS

code

Get back the error code.

Parameters

none

Returns

code:Scalar

Example:

    use WebService::GData::Error;

    #create an error object that you can throw by dying...
    my $error = new WebService::GData::Error(401,'Unauthorized');
       $error->code;#401
           

content

Get back the raw content of the error.

When getting an error from querying one of Google data services, you will get a raw xml response containing possible errors. In such case,you should loop through the result by using the errors() instance which send back WebService::GData::Error::Entry.

Parameters

none

Returns

content:Scalar

Example:

    use WebService::GData::Error;

    #create an error object that you can throw by dying...
    my $error = new WebService::GData::Error(401,'Unauthorized');
       $error->content;#Unauthorized

errors

Get back a reference array filled with WebService::GData::Error::Entry. When getting an error from querying one of Google data services, you will get an xml response containing possible errors. In such a case,you should loop through the result of errors. Errors always send back a reference array (even if there is no error).

Parameters

none

Returns

WebService::GData::Error::Entry:ArrayRef

Example:

    my @errors = $error->errors;#send back WebService::GData::Error::Entry objects

    foreach my $error (@{$error->errors}){
        print $error->code;
        print $error->internalreason;
        print $error->domain;
        print $error->location->{type};#this is just a hash
        print $error->location->{content};#this is just a hash
    }
