ABP provides a built-in infrastructure and offers a standard model for handling exceptions.
AbpExceptionFilter
handles an exception if any of the following conditions are met:
X-Requested-With
HTTP header value is XMLHttpRequest
).application/json
content type (via accept
HTTP header).If the exception is handled it's automatically logged and a formatted JSON message is returned to the client.
Error Message FormatError Message is an instance of the RemoteServiceErrorResponse
class. The simplest error JSON has a message property as shown below:
{
"error": {
"message": "This topic is locked and can not add a new message"
}
}
There are optional fields those can be filled based upon the exception that has occurred.
Error CodeError code is an optional and unique string value for the exception. Thrown Exception
should implement the IHasErrorCode
interface to fill this field. Example JSON value:
{
"error": {
"code": "App:010042",
"message": "This topic is locked and can not add a new message"
}
}
Error code can also be used to localize the exception and customize the HTTP status code (see the related sections below).
Error DetailsError details in an optional field of the JSON error message. Thrown Exception
should implement the IHasErrorDetails
interface to fill this field. Example JSON value:
{
"error": {
"code": "App:010042",
"message": "This topic is locked and can not add a new message",
"details": "A more detailed info about the error..."
}
}
Validation Errors
validationErrors is a standard field that is filled if the thrown exception implements the IHasValidationErrors
interface.
{
"error": {
"code": "App:010046",
"message": "Your request is not valid, please correct and try again!",
"validationErrors": [{
"message": "Username should be minimum length of 3.",
"members": ["userName"]
},
{
"message": "Password is required",
"members": ["password"]
}]
}
}
AbpValidationException
implements the IHasValidationErrors
interface and it is automatically thrown by the framework when a request input is not valid. So, usually you don't need to deal with validation errors unless you have higly customised validation logic.
Caught exceptions are automatically logged.
Log LevelExceptions are logged with the Error
level by default. The Log level can be determined by the exception if it implements the IHasLogLevel
interface. Example:
public class MyException : Exception, IHasLogLevel
{
public LogLevel LogLevel { get; set; } = LogLevel.Warning;
//...
}
Self Logging Exceptions
Some exception types may need to write additional logs. They can implement the IExceptionWithSelfLogging
if needed. Example:
public class MyException : Exception, IExceptionWithSelfLogging
{
public void Log(ILogger logger)
{
//...log additional info
}
}
Business Exceptions
ILogger.LogException
extension methods is used to write exception logs. You can use the same extension method when needed.
Most of your own exceptions will be business exceptions. The IBusinessException
interface is used to mark an exception as a business exception.
BusinessException
implements the IBusinessException
interface in addition to the IHasErrorCode
, IHasErrorDetails
and IHasLogLevel
interfaces. The default log level is Warning
.
Usually you have an error code related to a particular business exception. For example:
throw new BusinessException(QaErrorCodes.CanNotVoteYourOwnAnswer);
QaErrorCodes.CanNotVoteYourOwnAnswer
is just a const string
. The following error code format is recommended:
<code-namespace>:<error-code>
code-namespace is a unique value specific to your module/application. Example:
Volo.Qa:010002
Volo.Qa
is the code-namespace here. code-namespace is then will be used while localizing exception messages.
BusinessException
or derive your own exception types from it when needed.BusinessException
class. But you generally set either ErrorCode
or Message
property.One problem with throwing exceptions is how to localize error messages while sending it to the client. ABP offers two models and their variants.
User Friendly ExceptionIf an exception implements the IUserFriendlyException
interface, then ABP does not change it's Message
and Details
properties and directly send it to the client.
UserFriendlyException
class is the built-in implementation of the IUserFriendlyException
interface. Example usage:
throw new UserFriendlyException(
"Username should be unique!"
);
In this way, there is no need for localization at all. If you want to localize the message, you can inject and use the standard string localizer (see the localization document). Example:
throw new UserFriendlyException(_stringLocalizer["UserNameShouldBeUniqueMessage"]);
Then define it in the localization resource for each language. Example:
{
"culture": "en",
"texts": {
"UserNameShouldBeUniqueMessage": "Username should be unique!"
}
}
String localizer already supports parameterized messages. For example:
throw new UserFriendlyException(_stringLocalizer["UserNameShouldBeUniqueMessage", "john"]);
Then the localization text can be:
"UserNameShouldBeUniqueMessage": "Username should be unique! '{0}' is already taken!"
IUserFriendlyException
interface is derived from the IBusinessException
and the UserFriendlyException
class is derived from the BusinessException
class.UserFriendlyException
is fine, but it has a few problems in advanced usages:
Instead of localizing the message while throwing the exception, you can separate the process using error codes.
First, define the code-namespace to localization resource mapping in the module configuration:
services.Configure<AbpExceptionLocalizationOptions>(options =>
{
options.MapCodeNamespace("Volo.Qa", typeof(QaResource));
});
Then any of the exceptions with Volo.Qa
namespace will be localized using their given localization resource. The localization resource should always have an entry with the error code key. Example:
{
"culture": "en",
"texts": {
"Volo.Qa:010002": "You can not vote your own answer!"
}
}
Then a business exception can be thrown with the error code:
throw new BusinessException(QaDomainErrorCodes.CanNotVoteYourOwnAnswer);
IHasErrorCode
interface behaves the same. So, the error code localization approach is not unique to the BusinessException
class.Message
property of the exception! if you want that, use the UserFriendlyException
(or use an exception type that implements the IUserFriendlyException
interface).If you have a parameterized error message, then you can set it with the exception's Data
property. For example:
throw new BusinessException("App:010046")
{
Data =
{
{"UserName", "john"}
}
};
Fortunately there is a shortcut way to code this:
throw new BusinessException("App:010046")
.WithData("UserName", "john");
Then the localized text can contain the UserName
parameter:
{
"culture": "en",
"texts": {
"App:010046": "Username should be unique. '{UserName}' is already taken!"
}
}
WithData
can be chained with more than one parameter (like .WithData(...).WithData(...)
).ABP tries to automatically determine the most suitable HTTP status code for common exception types by following these rules:
AbpAuthorizationException
:
401
(unauthorized) if user has not logged in.403
(forbidden) if user has logged in.400
(bad request) for the AbpValidationException
.404
(not found) for the EntityNotFoundException
.403
(forbidden) for the IBusinessException
(and IUserFriendlyException
since it extends the IBusinessException
).501
(not implemented) for the NotImplementedException
.500
(internal server error) for other exceptions (those are assumed as infrastructure exceptions).The IHttpExceptionStatusCodeFinder
is used to automatically determine the HTTP status code. The default implementation is the DefaultHttpExceptionStatusCodeFinder
class. It can be replaced or extended as needed.
Automatic HTTP status code determination can be overrided by custom mappings. For example:
services.Configure<AbpExceptionHttpStatusCodeOptions>(options =>
{
options.Map("Volo.Qa:010002", HttpStatusCode.Conflict);
});
Subscribing to the Exceptions
It is possible to be informed when the ABP handles an exception. It automatically logs all the exceptions to the standard logger, but you may want to do more.
In this case, create a class derived from the ExceptionSubscriber
class in your application:
public class MyExceptionSubscriber : ExceptionSubscriber
{
public async override Task HandleAsync(ExceptionNotificationContext context)
{
//TODO...
}
}
The context
object contains necessary information about the exception occurred.
Built-In ExceptionsYou can have multiple subscribers, each gets a copy of the exception. Exceptions thrown by your subscriber is ignored (but still logged).
Some exception types are automatically thrown by the framework:
AbpAuthorizationException
is thrown if the current user has no permission to perform the requested operation. See authorization for more.AbpValidationException
is thrown if the input of the current request is not valid. See validation for more.EntityNotFoundException
is thrown if the requested entity is not available. This is mostly thrown by repositories.You can also throw these type of exceptions in your code (although it's rarely needed).
AbpExceptionHandlingOptionsAbpExceptionHandlingOptions
is the main options object to configure the exception handling system. You can configure it in the ConfigureServices
method of your module:
Configure<AbpExceptionHandlingOptions>(options =>
{
options.SendExceptionsDetailsToClients = true;
options.SendStackTraceToClients = false;
});
Here, a list of the options you can configure:
SendExceptionsDetailsToClients
(default: false
): You can enable or disable sending exception details to the client.SendStackTraceToClients
(default: true
): You can enable or disable sending the stack trace of exception to the client. If you want to send the stack trace to the client, you must set both SendStackTraceToClients
and SendExceptionsDetailsToClients
options to true
otherwise, the stack trace will not be sent to the client.RetroSearch is an open source project built by @garambo | Open a GitHub Issue
