I see. One way is to create a wrapper error type in layer1, which takes a
layer2 error. Just like os.PathError.
package main
import (
"errors"
"fmt"
)
var (
// Layer1Error = errors.New("some error on layer 1")
Layer2Error = errors.New("some error on layer 2")
)
type Layer1Error struct {
internal error
}
func (le *Layer1Error) Error() string {
return fmt.Sprintf("layer2 error: %v", le.internal)
}
func (le *Layer1Error) Unwrap() error {
return le.internal
}
func main() {
err := callLayer1Function()
fmt.Println(errors.Is(err, Layer2Error))
var l2err *Layer1Error
fmt.Println(errors.As(err, &l2err))
}
func callLayer1Function() error {
err := callLayer2Function()
return &Layer1Error{err}
}
func callLayer2Function() error {
// wrap an error of Layer2 here
return fmt.Errorf("some specific layer2 error message: %w", Layer2Error)
}
