Error Handling

goasync integrates with goerr, which essentially stores a single stack frame against a wrapped error value. By unwrapping the entire error chain one can then generate a pseudo callstack.

This has the advantage of working across goroutine boundaries, even for panics (that are recovered and turned into an error value by goasync).

The intent is not that we capture the exact state of the stack when an error happens, including every function call. For a library that does that, see https://github.com/go-errors/errors.

The intent here is to attach relevant contextual information (messages, variables) at strategic places along the call stack, keeping stack traces compact and maximally useful.

Expected Output

something went wrong

main.crash3.func1:C:/Users/brad.jones/Projects/Personal/goasync/examples/errors/main.go:32
        t.Reject(goerr.New("something went wrong"))
main.crash2.func1:C:/Users/brad.jones/Projects/Personal/goasync/examples/errors/main.go:23
        t.Reject(e)
main.crash1.func1:C:/Users/brad.jones/Projects/Personal/goasync/examples/errors/main.go:12
        t.Reject(e)
