Hi, I'm looking for thoughts from some experienced go programmers on a
technique to reduce error handling verbosity.
The basic idea is to be optimistic over a few instructions, and then
combine many errors in to one. This gist and explains the idea (note the
absence of if err != nil {} )
tenantID, err1 := store.GetParameter("TENANT_ID")
clientID, err2 := store.GetParameter("CLIENT_ID")
clientSecret, err3 := store.GetParameter("CLIENT_SECRET")
globalErr := multierr.Combine(err1, err2, err3)
return connection{
tenantID,
clientID,
clientSecret,
}, globalErr
There's some more detail in a post
http://martinsson-johan.blogspot.com/2020/10/less-error-handling-noice-in-go.html.
I'm sure someone else has already proposed this, but I wasn't able to find
it. Grateful for pointers
While it seems sound to me I'm a very interested in what people from the
community thinks.
Cheers
Johan Martinsson
