errors

Custom error types and exit codes for the Spotify CLI.

All CLI errors are represented as SpotifyCliError instances, each carrying a numeric ExitCode so the process can exit with a machine-readable status. Errors include a structured ErrorCode for machine-readable error classification.

Classes

SpotifyCliError

Defined in: src/errors.ts:81

Error class for all CLI-specific errors.

Carries an ExitCode and structured ErrorDetails that get serialized into the JSON error output.

Extends

  • Error

Constructors

Constructor

new SpotifyCliError(message, exitCode, details): SpotifyCliError

Defined in: src/errors.ts:82

Parameters
message

string

exitCode

ExitCode

The process exit code to use when this error is handled.

details

ErrorDetails

Structured data included in the JSON error output.

Returns

SpotifyCliError

Overrides

Error.constructor

Properties

cause?

optional cause: unknown

Defined in: node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es2022.error.d.ts:26

The cause of the error.

Inherited from

Error.cause

details

readonly details: ErrorDetails

Defined in: src/errors.ts:87

Structured data included in the JSON error output.

exitCode

readonly exitCode: ExitCode

Defined in: src/errors.ts:85

The process exit code to use when this error is handled.

message

message: string

Defined in: node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:1077

Inherited from

Error.message

name

name: string

Defined in: node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:1076

Inherited from

Error.name

stack?

optional stack: string

Defined in: node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:1078

Inherited from

Error.stack

stackTraceLimit

static stackTraceLimit: number

Defined in: node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:67

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Inherited from

Error.stackTraceLimit

Methods

captureStackTrace()
Call Signature

static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void

Defined in: node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:51

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

js
const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

js
function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}
