Hide redundant information on fetcher exception #6569

newtypes9 · 2020-05-31T10:45:02Z

I change the dialogService::showErrorDialogAndWait to custom exception handler exceptionHandler. The previous one will print all the stack trace information in dialog box. The new one will print the reason and hide the redundant and unnecessary information of exception.
trying to fix #6376

Change in CHANGELOG.md described (if applicable)
Tests created for changes (if applicable)
Manually tested changed features in running JabRef (always required)
Screenshots added in PR description (for UI changes)
Checked documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not created an issue at https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/issues or, even better, submitted a pull request to the documentation repository.

Thank you for your enhancement, @shiqingliu . Most of it looks good to me, just a question about the if expression.

        ImportEntriesDialog dialog = new ImportEntriesDialog(frame.getCurrentBasePanel().getBibDatabaseContext(), task);

How about exception instanceof FetcherException?

calixtus

Hi @shiqingliu , there is still one import error. It would be great, if you vould fix the import order.
Codewise looks good to me

This should be reordered in alphabetical order.

Sure. Thank your for your review.

Codewise looks good to me. Question is now, does it satisfy @MootezSaaD and @ilippert ? Let's ask them for a review. 😉

Thanks @shiqingliu ! , there's also another one related to the Springer fetcher if you are interested :)

Thanks for your contribution!

I agree the stacktrace is not very user friendly, and we should improve the error messages. However, the best place for this is when the exceptions are created, e.g. here:

jabref/src/main/java/org/jabref/logic/importer/SearchBasedParserFetcher.java

Lines 80 to 81 in 4e220f6

    
           // TODO: Catch HTTP Response 401/403 errors and report that user has no rights to access resource 
        
           throw new FetcherException("A network error occurred", e);

There you have the necessary context to construct a useful exception message by e.g. appending the URL that is incorrect and the reason for the failed request. See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37302615/extract-http-status-code-from-java-io-ioexception

Please improve the code in this regard. Thanks!

+            dialogService.showWarningDialogAndWait(Localization.lang("An error occurred"),
+                    Localization.lang(exception.getMessage()));


Localization.lang only works for static messages so sadly cannot be used here.

Background information is available at https://devdocs.jabref.org/getting-into-the-code/code-howtos#using-localization-correctly.

This is a good start. Since there was no activity since a few weeks, we would like to ask whether there is some interest in continuing in this.

Ideas:

Distinguish between known and unknown errors (e.g., no rights vs. something weird happened)
Show details somewhere. Similar to <details> at GitHub.

ilippert · 2020-07-07T08:09:08Z

Ideas:

* Distinguish between known and unknown errors (e.g., no rights vs. something weird happened)

* Show details somewhere. Similar to `<details>` at GitHub.

I like both ideas very much. My original idea at #6343 was that in case jabref can know what's wrong, tell the user what the error is.
IF this is an error caused by an outside element (blame it on google...), rather than giving the user the feeling that jabref does not work. if possible, then, a message like "[Source] does not allow you to retrieve information from their server" (where [Source] might be google, etc).

My proposal is to think this from the perspective of the user: i try to retrieve information. i get an error. now, is this my error, because I mishandled jabref?, is this an error caused by jabref? or is everything all right, except for the provider (say google) who does not allow me an answer to my request.

Decision in Devcall: We think a more appropriate solution would be to throw exceptions in every single fetcher instead of a generic one.
