Error Handling
When sending a submission to the dropbox, it's very important to provide feedback to the student. They should know if the submission went through successfully.
Submitting with the Submission::submit()
function returns a Result
that you can use to handle any possible errors. The Err
variant of the Result
is a reqwest::Error
.
// some code omitted fn main() { // Open the dropbox somewhere else dropbox::open_with_arg("open_sesame", 8080); let mut sub = Submission::new(); // Grading, etc goes here... // using `match` gives us basic error handling. // here, we're just printing the error. This can give more insight // as to what went wrong. match sub.submit("http://localhost:8080/submit") { Ok(_) => println!("Submission recorded!"), Err(e) => println!("Error! Couldn't record submission.\n{}", e); } }
