slog-unwrap

slog-unwrap

This crate provides .unwrap_or_log() and .expect_or_log() methods on Result and Option types that log failed unwraps to a slog::Logger. This is useful when, for example, you have a syslog drain or a database drain, and you want your unwrap failures to show up there instead of being printed to stderr.

Its API aims to mirror Rust's std — see all the supported methods below. Failed unwraps are logged at a level of Critical.

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

slog-unwrap = "0.9"

Next, bring the ResultExt and/or OptionExt traits into scope, and make use of the new logging methods.

use slog_unwrap::ResultExt;

let logger = slog::Logger::root(slog::Discard, slog::o!());
let not_great: Result<(), _> = Result::Err("not terrible");

// Logs the failed unwrap to `logger` and panics
not_great.unwrap_or_log(&logger);

Methods

†: unstable in std
Note: enabling the scope feature drops the &log argument from all methods.

Features

• panic-quiet: causes failed unwraps to panic with an empty message.
  This feature is enabled by default — if you'd like the unwrap error message to also show in the panic message, disable default features in your Cargo.toml as follows:
  slog-unwrap = { version = "0.9", default-features = false }

• scope: adds support for slog-scope, which removes the need to pass a slog::Logger to the various methods.

Alternatives
