BeepBeep and ErlyDB integration issue - mysql

Further to my adventures with Erlang and ErlyDB. I am attempting to get ErlyDB working with BeepBeep
My ErlyDB setup works correctly when run outside of the BeepBeep environment (see Debugging ErlyDB and MySQL). I have basically take the working code and attempted to get it running inside BeepBeep.
I have the following code in my controller:
handle_request("index",[]) ->
erlydb:start(mysql,Database),
erlydb:code_gen(["thing.erl"],mysql),
NewThing = thing:new_with([{name, "name"},{value, "value"}]),
thing:save(NewThing),
{render,"home/index.html",[{data,"Hello World!"}]};
When I call the URL, the response outputs "Server Error".
There is no other error or exception information reported.
I have tried wrapping the call in try/catch to see if there is an underlying error - there is definitely an exception at the call to thing:new_with(), but no further information is available.
The stacktrace reports:
{thing,new,[["name","value"]]}
{home_controller,create,1}
{home_controller,handle_request,3}
{beepbeep,process_request,4}
{test_web,loop,1}
{mochiweb_http,headers,4}
{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}

Use pattern matching to assert that things work up to the call to thing:new/1:
ok = erlydb:start(mysql,Database),
ok = erlydb:code_gen(["thing.erl"],mysql),
You include only the stack trace, look at the exception message as well. I suspect that the error is that you get an 'undef' exception. But check that it is so. The first line in the stack trace indicates that it is a problem with calling thing:new/1 with ["name", "value"] as argument.
It is slightly odd that you show one clause of handle_request that is not calling home_controller:create/1 as per {home_controller,create,1} in the stack-trace. What do the other clauses in your handle_request/2 function look like?

File component's [consumer.]bridgeErrorHandler in conjunction with startingDirectoryMustExist

I have a route (with Camel 2.23.1) like:
from("file://not.existing.dir?autoCreate=false&startingDirectoryMustExist=true&consumer.bridgeErrorHandler=true")
.onException(Exception.class)
.handled(true)
.log(LoggingLevel.ERROR, "...exception text...")
.end()
.log(LoggingLevel.INFO, "...process text...")
...
(I tried it with just &bridgeErrorHandler, too, since according to the latest doc the consumer. prefix seems to be not necessary any longer.)
According to the doc of startingDirectoryMustExist:
| startingDirectoryMustExist | [...] Will thrown an exception if the directory doesn’t exist. |
the following exception is thrown:
org.apache.camel.FailedToCreateRouteException: Failed to create route route1:
Route(route1)[[From[file://not.existing.dir?autoCreate=false...
because of Starting directory does not exist: not.existing.dir
...
but, despite of the doc and the description of [consumer.]bridgeErrorHandler it's propagated to the caller, i.e neither "exception text" nor "process text" are printed.
There is a unit test FileConsumerBridgeRouteExceptionHandlerTest that covers consumer.bridgeErrorHandler, so I think this works basically. Can it be that [consumer.]bridgeErrorHandler doesn't work in conjunction with the exception thrown by startingDirectoryMustExist?
Do I have to write my own [consumer.]exceptionHandler as mentioned in this answer to "Camel - Stop route when the consuming directory not exists"?
There also a post on the mailing list from 2014 that reports similar behaviour with startingDirectoryMustExist and consumer.bridgeErrorHandler.
UPDATE
After TRACEing and debugging through the code I found that the exception is propagated as follows:
FileEndpoint.createConsumer()
throw new FileNotFoundException(...);
--> RouteService.warmUp()
throw new FailedToCreateRouteException(...)
--> DefaultCamelContext.doStart()
(re)throw e
--> ServiceSupport.start()
(re)throw e
I couldn't find any point where bridgeErrorHandler comes into play.
Setting breakpoints on BridgeExceptionHandlerToErrorHandler's constructor and all of its handleException() methods doesn't stop at any of them.
Am I still missing something?
You should use the directoryMustExist option instead, then you can have the error during polling, which is where the bridge error handler can be triggered. The startingDirectoryMustExist option is checked during creating the consumer and therefore before the polling and where the bridge error handler operates.

catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed

I'm making a custom plugin to query a database for user info to aide customer support. My backend is slack.
Everytime I start the bot command I'm greeted with:
Computer says nooo. See logs for details:
catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed
I'm not sure if this is warning me that I'm attempting to catch an exception that isn't a BaseClass in my code or if an unknown exception was raised and caught elsewhere outside of my plugin.
To debug I tried:
try:
do_the_thing()
except (TypeError, ValueError) as e:
return('Something went wrong.')
I also tried:
try:
do_the_thing()
except Exception as e:
return('Something went wrong.')
And I still get the errbot admonition. Note that the command still runs and does the right thing where there is no exception raised by do_the_thing().
It means that:
Somewhere in your code you have an except ... statement where the exception ... (or one of the exceptions in the sequence ...) is not a subclass of BaseException, and
An exception is being thrown that is caught by that except ... statement.
The TypeError can be raised only when an exception is actually thrown because the names you give to except ... must be evaluated for their current values at that time; just because TypeError referenced a particular class at one point in the program's execution doesn't mean it won't be changed later to reference another object (though that would be admittedly perverse).
The Python interpreter should be giving you a full traceback of the exception; the first thing you need to do is find this. It could be occurring in one of two situations. (This is for single-threaded programs; I'm assuming your program is not multithreaded.)
During the execution of your program, in which case the program will be terminated by the exception, or
During finalization of objects (in their __del__(self) functions) in which case the error will be printed to stderr.
In both cases there should be a stack trace, not just the error message; I've confirmed that at least on Python ≥3.4 a stack trace is printed out for case 2.
You then need to follow this stack trace to see where the problem lies. Remember that the names you give to except ... are variables (even things like TypeError) that can be reassigned, so that you could conceivably be dealing with a (perverse) situation like:
TypeError = False
try:
...
except TypeError:
...
But more likely it will be something obvious such as:
class MyException: # Doesn't inherit from Exception
...
try:
...
except MyException:
...
There is one special case you need to be aware of: if you are seeing messages to stderr (case "2. During finalization," above) printed out as your program exits that means that the exception was thrown during cleanup as the interpreter shuts down, where random variables throughout the program may have already been set to None as part of the cleanup process. But in this case your program should still exit successfully.

assertEquals throws a NullPointerException, but equals method does not

I have two list objects and want to check that the first items of each are equal. However, I get a NullPointerException at this line:
assertEquals(instance.getPlane(0), planes.get(0));
This is the entire stack trace:
Testcase: testGetPlane(mypackage.PlaneTest): Caused an ERROR
null
java.lang.NullPointerException
at mypackage.PlaneTest.testGetPlane(PlaneTest.java:60)
(Line 60 is the assertion.)
Neither of those objects are null. I'm having a separate issue getting the debugger to work, so instead I added these printouts to my test case:
System.err.println("equals? " + instance.getPlane(0).equals(planes.get(0)));
System.err.println("equals? " + planes.get(0).equals(instance.getPlane(0)));
However, those lines executed without throwing any errors!
I've cleaned and built the project and restarted Netbeans, but still have this issue.
JUnit just calls expected.equals(actual), which should be exactly the same thing as my printouts that aren't throwing the error, right? Why would assertEquals throw a NullPointerException, but equals on the same objects would not?
(I was about to post the question alone when I discovered the fix, but since it was a pain I'm posting it anyways in hopes this may help someone else. I did not find any other questions which had this solution.)
The error is in fact caused by JUnit, when it tries to compose an error message.
In the format function, there are the lines:
String expectedString = String.valueOf(expected);
String actualString = String.valueOf(actual);
if (expectedString.equals(actualString)) { ... }
String.valueOf(Object obj) returns obj.toString() if obj is not null.
My object's toString method simply returned a "name" field, which was never set inside the test. So, the object was not null, but the function returned null. This caused the NullPointerException when JUnit tried to call expectedString.equals. Ensuring that toString never returns null fixed the error.

a session error after updating to laravel 5.4

After updating from laravel 5.3 to 5.4, I encountered an error in vendor. The error is:
Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Session\Store::set() in /var/www/ostadbank.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/Manager.php:137
But when I go to my error is:
fatal error exception in Manager.php line 137:call to undefined method Illuminate\session\store::set()
I go to manager.php line 137 and I see the line below:
public function __call($method, $parameters) { return $this->driver()->$method(...$parameters); }
I am not sure where to start to modify.
See the screenshots below:
I solve it, for more information read this: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/upgrade
All calls to the ->set() method should be changed to ->put(). Typically, Laravel applications would never call the set method since it has never been documented within the Laravel documentation. However, it is included here out of caution.

How can I write an exception stack trace in erlang after catching it?

Suppose I have something like this :
try code_that_fails()
catch _:_ -> .....
How do I print the stacktrace in the catch block? That block catches all exceptions, but I don't know how to print the stack...
Can you help me?
From Erlang 21.0 onwards, there's a new official way to get the stack trace. An optional pattern match in the try expression on the third parameter in the exception, which will contain the stack trace:
try
code_that_fails()
catch
_:_:Stacktrace ->
erlang:display(Stacktrace)
end
Older versions (OTP 20 and below)
For versions of Erlang/OTP 20 and below, you need to use get_stacktrace/0, which allows you to get the stacktrace of the last exception in the calling process:
try
code_that_fails()
catch
_:_ ->
erlang:display(erlang:get_stacktrace())
end
An answer for your question is:
io:format("Backtrace ~p~n", [erlang:get_stacktrace()])
The current function is at the head of the list. Read more in man 3erl erlang or erlang:get_stacktrace/0
In your example, you don't need the try; you can just do
result = (catch code_that_fails()).
If an exception is raised, catch returns a tuple that contains the error code and stack trace.
Note that this is generally considered bad practice as it can mask exceptions. The stacktrace approach described in another answer is almost certainly what you want.
try is an extension of the original catch functionality; if you use it, you need to specify clauses for each exception type you would like to catch, and handle them appropriately. See sections 6.18/6.19 of the Erlang reference manual for details and clear examples.
