feat(error): add structured exit codes for scriptable error handling#428
Conversation
Replace the hardcoded `std::process::exit(1)` with a type-specific exit
code derived from the GwsError variant:
0 — success
1 — API error (GwsError::Api)
2 — auth error (GwsError::Auth)
3 — validation (GwsError::Validation)
4 — discovery (GwsError::Discovery)
5 — internal (GwsError::Other)
This allows shell scripts to branch on failure type without parsing the
JSON error output:
gws drive files list ...
case $? in
1) echo "API error — check your params" ;;
2) echo "Auth error — run: gws auth login" ;;
3) echo "Bad arguments" ;;
esac
Changes:
- Add GwsError::exit_code() mapping variants to codes
- Update main() to call std::process::exit(err.exit_code())
- Document exit codes in gws --help (print_usage)
- Document exit codes in README under new Exit Codes section
- Add 6 unit tests including a regression guard asserting all codes are distinct

Code Review
This pull request introduces structured exit codes, which is a great feature for scriptability. The implementation is straightforward and well-tested. I've added a few suggestions to src/error.rs to improve maintainability by replacing magic numbers with constants, which is important for a public contract like exit codes. The documentation changes in the README and help output are clear and helpful.
Add EXIT_CODE_API/AUTH/VALIDATION/DISCOVERY/OTHER associated constants on GwsError so callers and tests reference symbolic names rather than bare integers. Update exit_code() match arms and all tests accordingly. The distinctness test now validates the constants array directly. Addresses code-review feedback requesting named constants.

Code Review
This pull request introduces structured exit codes, which is a great improvement for scriptability. The implementation is solid, with new constants for exit codes, an exit_code() method on GwsError, and accompanying tests. The documentation has also been updated accordingly. I have one suggestion to improve maintainability by reducing documentation duplication for the exit codes in the help text.
src/main.rs
Outdated
| println!("EXIT CODES:"); | ||
| println!(" 0 Success"); | ||
| println!(" 1 API error — Google returned an error response"); | ||
| println!(" 2 Auth error — credentials missing or invalid"); | ||
| println!(" 3 Validation — bad arguments or input"); | ||
| println!(" 4 Discovery — could not fetch API schema"); | ||
| println!(" 5 Internal — unexpected failure"); |

The exit code documentation is hardcoded here using println!. This information is duplicated in several other places, including the doc comment in src/error.rs, README.md, and the changeset file. This duplication makes maintenance difficult and increases the risk of documentation becoming inconsistent with the implementation.
To improve maintainability and ensure a single source of truth for the help output, this information should be centralized. A good place would be src/error.rs alongside the exit code constants.
For example, you could add this constant to src/error.rs:
pub const EXIT_CODE_DOCUMENTATION: &[(i32, &str)] = &[
(0, "Success"),
(crate::error::GwsError::EXIT_CODE_API, "API error — Google returned an error response"),
(crate::error::GwsError::EXIT_CODE_AUTH, "Auth error — credentials missing or invalid"),
(crate::error::GwsError::EXIT_CODE_VALIDATION, "Validation — bad arguments or input"),
(crate::error::GwsError::EXIT_CODE_DISCOVERY, "Discovery — could not fetch API schema"),
(crate::error::GwsError::EXIT_CODE_OTHER, "Internal — unexpected failure"),
];And then replace this block of println! statements with a loop that uses the constant, ensuring the help text is always in sync with the code.
| println!("EXIT CODES:"); | |
| println!(" 0 Success"); | |
| println!(" 1 API error — Google returned an error response"); | |
| println!(" 2 Auth error — credentials missing or invalid"); | |
| println!(" 3 Validation — bad arguments or input"); | |
| println!(" 4 Discovery — could not fetch API schema"); | |
| println!(" 5 Internal — unexpected failure"); | |
| println!("EXIT CODES:"); | |
| for (code, description) in crate::error::EXIT_CODE_DOCUMENTATION { | |
| println!(" {:<5}{}", code, description); | |
| } |
…TATION Add a module-level EXIT_CODE_DOCUMENTATION constant — a static slice of (code, description) pairs built from the EXIT_CODE_* constants. Replace the hardcoded println! block in print_usage() with a loop over this slice so the help output is always in sync with the defined constants and cannot drift out of date. Addresses code-review feedback requesting a single source of truth.

Code Review
This pull request introduces structured exit codes to the gws CLI tool, replacing the generic exit code 1 with specific codes for different error types (API, Auth, Validation, Discovery, and Internal errors). The changes include defining constant exit codes and a mapping function within the GwsError enum, updating the main application to use these new codes, and adding comprehensive documentation in the README.md, a new changeset file, and the gws --help output. Unit tests were also added to verify the correctness and distinctness of these exit codes.
