Add support for multiple formats to test cases
This patch adds support for multiple rustdoc output formats to the test
suite.  This is a preparation for adding support for rustdoc’s JSON
output.

anyhow Trait anyhow::Context rusty-man
SYNOPSIS
pub trait Context<T, E>: Sealed {
fn context<C>(self, context: C) -> Result<T, Error>
    where
        C: Display + Send + Sync + 'static;
fn with_context<C, F>(self, f: F) -> Result<T, Error>
    where
        C: Display + Send + Sync + 'static,
        F: FnOnce() -> C;
}
DESCRIPTION
Provides the `context` method for `Result`.
This trait is sealed and cannot be implemented for types outside of `anyhow`.
# Example
use anyhow::{Context, Result};
use std::fs;
use std::path::PathBuf;
pub struct ImportantThing {
path: PathBuf,
}
impl ImportantThing {
pub fn detach(&mut self) -> Result<()> {...}
}
pub fn do_it(mut it: ImportantThing) -> Result<Vec<u8>> {
it.detach().context("Failed to detach the important thing")?;
let path = &it.path;
let content = fs::read(path)
.with_context(|| format!("Failed to read instrs from {}", path.display()))?;
Ok(content)
}
When printed, the outermost context would be printed first and the lower level underlying
causes would be enumerated below.
`Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
Caused by:
No such file or directory (os error 2)
`
# Effect on downcasting
After attaching context of type `C` onto an error of type `E`, the resulting `anyhow::Error`
may be downcast to `C` **or** to `E`.
That is, in codebases that rely on downcasting, Anyhow's context supports both of the
following use cases:
* **Attaching context whose type is insignificant onto errors whose type is used in
downcasts.**
In other error libraries whose context is not designed this way, it can be risky to
introduce context to existing code because new context might break existing working
downcasts. In Anyhow, any downcast that worked before adding context will continue to work
after you add a context, so you should freely add human-readable context to errors wherever
it would be helpful.
use anyhow::{Context, Result};
fn do_it() -> Result<()> {
helper().context("Failed to complete the work")?;
...
}
fn main() {
let err = do_it().unwrap_err();
if let Some(e) = err.downcast_ref::<SuspiciousError>() {
// If helper() returned SuspiciousError, this downcast will
// correctly succeed even with the context in between.
}
}
* **Attaching context whose type is used in downcasts onto errors whose type is
insignificant.**
Some codebases prefer to use machine-readable context to categorize lower level errors in a
way that will be actionable to higher levels of the application.
use anyhow::{Context, Result};
fn do_it() -> Result<()> {
helper().context(HelperFailed)?;
...
}
fn main() {
let err = do_it().unwrap_err();
if let Some(e) = err.downcast_ref::<HelperFailed>() {
// If helper failed, this downcast will succeed because
// HelperFailed is the context that has been attached to
// that error.
}
}
METHODS
Required Methods
context
fn context<C>(self, context: C) -> Result<T, Error>
where
    C: Display + Send + Sync + 'static,
Wrap the error value with additional context.
with_context
fn with_context<C, F>(self, f: F) -> Result<T, Error>
where
    C: Display + Send + Sync + 'static,
    F: FnOnce() -> C,
Wrap the error value with additional context that is evaluated lazily only once an error
does occur.
