Subject: [PATCH] guix: Prepare the UI for continuable &warning exceptions.
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2021 23:40:27 +0100

* guix/store.scm (call-with-store): Use raise-continuable to resignal
exceptions.  This is needed for a later commit that uses continuable
exceptions from within git-authenticate to signal warnings that are meant to
be displayed for the user.  The reason for this is that this way unit tests
can explicitly check with a handler that a warning was indeed signalled.
* guix/ui.scm (call-with-error-handling): Handle &warning type exceptions by
printing them to the user, and then continuing at the place where they were
signalled at.
* guix/diagnostics.scm (emit-formatted-warning): New exported
function.

this is used in an upcoming patch, filed under a separate id.

Hi,

>+  (guard* (c ((warning? c)
>+              (if (formatted-message? c)
>+                  (apply emit-formatted-warning
>+                         (formatted-message-string c)
>+                         (formatted-message-arguments c))
>+                  (emit-formatted-warning "~a" c))
>+              '())

I think this is better placed right before the 'formatted-message?',
instead of before the 'package-input-error?'. Or maybe inside the
'formatted-message?' clause? If you put it inside the
'formatted-message?' clause, you would get fix hint support for free.

I don't think the empty list as return value is meaningful here,
maybe return nothing at all instead (using (values))?

Also, you can't meaningfully stringify a condition.
E.g.,

(display (condition (make-warning) (make-who-condition 'foo)))
#<&compound-exception components: (#<&warning> #<&origin origin: foo>)>

I don't think "warning: #<& foo:(#<&bar &baz> ...)...>" messages are
very useful, so I would simply not handle warning? conditions that
aren't formatted-message?.

E.g.,:
  (guard* (c [...]
             ((and (warning? c) (formatted-message? c))
              do-things)
             [...])
    [...])

The downside is that, whenever some code raises a &warning that isn't
also a &formatted-message, (guix ui) needs to be adjusted to support it
as well, but that's acceptable I think.

Also, a test or two would be great (unfortunately call-with-error-
handling appears to be untested ...).

Greetings,
Maxime.

thanks for the feedback! i've applied everything you pointed out.

i didn't merge it with the formatted-message? entry, because i'd
like a place where every warning ends up. instead, i have factored
out a maybe-display-fix-hint function, and used it there, too.

> Also, you can't meaningfully stringify a condition.

in case of warnings, you're right. i just have a knee-jerk reaction
against silently swallowing errors, and it kicked in here, too.

> Also, a test or two would be great

i don't really know how to write a test for this.

the way i was testing it is that a future commit will add a warning
when the channel intro commit doesn't set up .guix-authorizations properly,
and i had set up a branch from which i tried to pull.
