effectful-core-2.0.0.0: src/Effectful/Error/Static.hs
-- | Support for handling errors of a particular type, i.e. checked exceptions.
--
-- The 'Error' effect is __not__ a general mechanism for handling regular
-- exceptions, that's what functions from the @exceptions@ library are for (see
-- "Control.Monad.Catch" for more information).
--
-- In particular, regular exceptions of type @e@ are distinct from errors of
-- type @e@ and will __not__ be caught by functions from this module:
--
-- >>> import qualified Control.Monad.Catch as E
--
-- >>> boom = error "BOOM!"
--
-- >>> runEff . runError @ErrorCall $ boom `catchError` \_ (_::ErrorCall) -> pure "caught"
-- *** Exception: BOOM!
-- ...
--
-- If you want to catch regular exceptions, you should use
-- 'Control.Monad.Catch.catch' (or a similar function):
--
-- >>> runEff $ boom `E.catch` \(_::ErrorCall) -> pure "caught"
-- "caught"
--
-- On the other hand, functions for safe finalization and management of
-- resources such as 'Control.Monad.Catch.finally' and
-- 'Control.Monad.Catch.bracket' work as expected:
--
-- >>> msg = liftIO . putStrLn
--
-- >>> :{
-- runEff . runErrorNoCallStack @String $ do
-- E.bracket_ (msg "Beginning.")
-- (msg "Cleaning up.")
-- (msg "Computing." >> throwError "oops" >> msg "More.")
-- :}
-- Beginning.
-- Computing.
-- Cleaning up.
-- Left "oops"
--
-- /Note:/ unlike the 'Control.Monad.Trans.Except.ExceptT' monad transformer
-- from the @transformers@ library, the order in which you handle the 'Error'
-- effect with regard to other stateful effects does not matter. Consider the
-- following:
--
-- >>> import qualified Control.Monad.State.Strict as T
-- >>> import qualified Control.Monad.Except as T
--
-- >>> m1 = (T.modify (++ " there!") >> T.throwError "oops") `T.catchError` \_ -> pure ()
--
-- >>> (`T.runStateT` "Hi") . T.runExceptT $ m1
-- (Right (),"Hi there!")
--
-- >>> T.runExceptT . (`T.runStateT` "Hi") $ m1
-- Right ((),"Hi")
--
-- Here, whether state updates within the 'catchError' block are discarded or
-- not depends on the shape of the monad transformer stack, which is surprising
-- and can be a source of subtle bugs. On the other hand:
--
-- >>> import Effectful.State.Static.Local
--
-- >>> m2 = (modify (++ " there!") >> throwError "oops") `catchError` \_ (_::String) -> pure ()
--
-- >>> runEff . runState "Hi" . runError @String $ m2
-- (Right (),"Hi there!")
--
-- >>> runEff . runError @String . runState "Hi" $ m2
-- Right ((),"Hi there!")
--
-- Here, no matter the order of effects, state updates made within the
-- @catchError@ block before the error happens always persist, giving
-- predictable behavior.
--
-- /Hint:/ if you'd like to reproduce the transactional behavior with the
-- 'Effectful.State.Static.Local.State' effect, appropriate usage of
-- 'Control.Monad.Catch.bracketOnError' will do the trick.
