#12385 closed defect (fixed)

Trap NotImplementedError

Reported by: Ryan J Ollos Owned by: Ryan J Ollos
Priority: normal Milestone: 1.0.11
Component: general Version:
Severity: normal Keywords: exception
Cc: Branch:
Release Notes:

NotImplementedError is trapped and a system message is presented to the user rather than the error reporting page.

API Changes:
Internal Changes:

Description (last modified by Ryan J Ollos)

Raising a NotImplementedError exception results in the following page:

Note that this standard error screen suggests that the user might create a ticket. If the developer is explicitly raising a NotImpementedError, we probably don't want users reporting these issues (#11611). Ideally the NotImplementedError would have an explanation, perhaps even a link to the ticket in which the feature/method will be implemented. That may be applicable to the scenario that led to the screen capture.

We could add a TracNotImplementedError:

class TracNotImplementedError(TracError, NotImplementedError):

Or we could trap NotImplementedError where TracError is trapped.

Owner: set to Ryan J Ollos
Status: newassigned

Proposed changes in log:rjollos.git:t12385_trap_not_implemented. I think [12cdd650/rjollos.git] could be adapted and applied to 1.0-stable.

I wanted to test with MercurialPlugin but haven't managed to install due to issue noted in comment:26:ticket:7346.

comment:2 by Jun Omae, 8 years ago

Functional tests has 2 failures. How about simply raising a TracError instead of NotImplementedError?

Also, I don't think we should use raise e! The stack trace of exception would be changed by re-raising.

>>> import traceback
>>> try:
...   try:
...     raise ValueError('***')
...   except ValueError as e:
...     traceback.print_exc()
...     raise e
... except ValueError as e2:
...   traceback.print_exc()
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
ValueError: ***
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 6, in <module>
ValueError: ***

If we indeed re-raise a caught exception, I think we should use err = sys.exc_info() and raise err[0], err[1], err[2].

Replying to Jun Omae:

If we indeed re-raise a caught exception, I think we should use err = sys.exc_info() and raise err[0], err[1], err[2].

I was thinking that's an older form of exception raising according to PEP8, even though it's doesn't explicitly call out this 3 expression form.

When raising an exception in Python 2, use raise ValueError('message') instead of the older form raise ValueError, 'message'

I guess we would normally use raise:

>>> try:
...   try:
...     raise ValueError('**')
...   except ValueError as e:
...     traceback.print_exc()
...     raise
... except ValueError as e2:
...   traceback.print_exc()
... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
ValueError: **
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
ValueError: **
>>> try:
...   try:
...     raise ValueError('**')
...   except ValueError as e:
...     traceback.print_exc()
...     err = sys.exc_info()
...     raise err[0], err[1], err[2]
... except ValueError as e2:
...   traceback.print_exc()
... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
ValueError: **
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
ValueError: **

but that won't work in this case because of the inner exception. I guess there is nothing wrong with the 3 expression form and it is appropriate for this use case.

Do you mean, raise TracError instead of TracNotImplementedError, or that plugins should modify their code to raise TracError rather than NotImplementedError?

comment:5 by Ryan J Ollos, 8 years ago

I committed the refactoring in [14604], with changes suggested in comment:2. I'll rework the other changes.

comment:6 by Jun Omae, 8 years ago

Looking [14604], if no reason, we should use except ExceptionName as e rather than if isinstance(e, ExceptionName).

comment:7 by Ryan J Ollos, 8 years ago

Previously though, self._post_process_request would be called even in case of PermissionError, ResourceNotFound and TracError. It appears that wouldn't be the case with proposed changes. I might be wrong about that. The old behavior was very confusing with so many nested control structures.

I think it's a better easier to see changes in this diff view.

Yeah, removing nested try/except in [14604] looks good but I dislike isinstance(e, ExceptionName) in except block. Please ignore the diff in comment:6, sorry.

I misunderstood. I agree adding NotImplementedError. Reconsidering, I think the Trac administrators want to know where does the NotImplementedError come from. How about logging last entry of the stacktrace?

Yeah, I dislike it as well. So far I didn't see a better way, but I'll continue to look for ideas for additional refactoring.

When generating navigation items from INavigationContributor components, exceptions from the components is logged without stacktrace. See tags/trac-1.0.10/trac/web/chrome.py@:811-816#L809. I think the behavior makes difficult debugging/trouble shooting.

The logging last entry of the stacktrace might help the debugging/trouble shooting in the case. Thoughts?

Logging the stacktrace is a good idea. The Error with navigation contributor is raised on the mailing list fairly often and it's difficult to debug the problem.

comment:15 by Ryan J Ollos, 8 years ago

Release Notes: modified (diff)

I addressed the errors in comment:12 (thanks!), then comment:11 changes committed to 1.0-stable in [14618], merged to trunk in [14619].

I'll leave the ticket open to address comment:13, unless we want to have a different ticket for that.

comment:16 by Ryan J Ollos, 8 years ago

Similar to comment:13, I ran into an issue today in which the following error was displayed:

I think the issue is caused by SearchAttachmentsPlugin. This is what was logged:

2016-03-21 11:54:06,157 Trac[main] WARNING: [96.93.126.65] HTTPInternalError: 500 Trac Error (Genshi UnicodeDecodeError error while rendering template 'search.html', line 63, char 77)

This Trac instance has:

[trac]
use_chunked_encoding = false

Is there a reason that the stacktrace isn't printed for this case?: tags/trac-1.0.10/trac/web/chrome.py@:1130-1133#L1108

The stacktrace is printed when use_chunked_encoding?: tags/trac-1.0.10/trac/web/chrome.py@:1188-1190#L1165

gmessage:trac-users:rDT7ljOFcm4/gcgX3vqeCwAJ is one such case, from what I remember.

That code is introduced in [7838] (#7959). Perhaps, the reason is the printing stacktrace doesn't help because the UnicodeError is raised from genshi/core.py in most cases if the UnicodeError is raised while rendering genshi template.

However, it would be good to log the stacktrace before raising a converted TracError.

The stacktrace is printed when use_chunked_encoding?: tags/trac-1.0.10/trac/web/chrome.py@:1188-1190#L1165

I forget the reason…. Maybe, I considered we should log the error with stacetrace since caught exception isn't converted to TracError.

Documented TracNotImplementedError in TracDev/Exceptions@17. I should probably add a docstring to the TracNotImplementedError class.

Additional changes in [14672,14674,14676] on 1.0-stable, and [14673,14675,14677] on trunk. Sorry for the noise, I'll be more careful in the future.
