@semantic-release/error

Error type used by all semantic-release packages.

Errors of type SemanticReleaseError or an inherited type will be considered by semantic-release as an expected exception case (no release to be done, running on a PR etc..). That indicate to the semantic-release process to stop and exit with the 0 success code.

Any other type of error will be considered by semantic-release as an unexpected error (i/o issue, code problem etc...). That indicate to the semantic-release process to stop, log the error and exit with the 1 failure code.

Usage

const SemanticReleaseError = require('@semantic-release/error');

// Default
throw new SemanticReleaseError();

// With error message
throw new SemanticReleaseError('An error happened');

// With error message and error code
throw new SemanticReleaseError('An error happened', 'ECODE');

// With inheritance
class InheritedError extends SemanticReleaseError {
  constructor(message, code, newProperty) {
    super(message);
    Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor);
    this.name = this.constructor.name;
    this.code = code;
    this.newProperty = 'newProperty';
  }
}

throw new InheritedError('An error happened', 'ECODE');
