In order to unwrap // reliably, we must thus support both. // // See: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/31778 // UnwrapOnce accesses the direct cause of the error if any, otherwise // returns nil. // // It supports both errors implementing causer (`Cause()` method, from // github.com/pkg/errors) and `Wrapper` (`Unwrap()` method, from the // Go 2 error proposal). // // UnwrapOnce treats multi-errors (those implementing the // `Unwrap() []error` interface as leaf-nodes since they cannot // reasonably be iterated through to a single cause. These errors // are typically constructed as a result of `fmt.Errorf` which results // in a `wrapErrors` instance that contains an interpolated error // string along with a list of causes. // // The go stdlib does not define output on `Unwrap()` for a multi-cause // error, so we default to nil here. func UnwrapOnce(err error) (cause error) { switch e := err.(type) { case interface{ Cause() error }: return e.Cause() case interface{ Unwrap() error }: return e.Unwrap() } return nil } // UnwrapAll accesses the root cause object of the error. // If the error has no cause (leaf error), it is returned directly. // UnwrapAll treats multi-errors as leaf nodes. func UnwrapAll(err error) error { for { if cause := UnwrapOnce(err); cause != nil { err = cause continue } break } return err } // UnwrapMulti access the slice of causes that an error contains, if it is a // multi-error. func UnwrapMulti(err error) []error { if me, ok := err.(interface{ Unwrap() []error }); ok { return me.Unwrap() } return nil }
