Error subclass for plugin lifecycle failures.

Example​

const error = new PluginError({
  message: 'Plugin failed to load',
  attempted: 'Load plugin',
  pluginName: 'my-plugin',
});

Failure Mode​

Load failed — plugin module could not be imported

Failure Mode​

Init failed — plugin setup() threw an error

Failure Mode​

Incompatible version — plugin requires a different Praman version

Extends​

Constructors​

Constructor​

new PluginError(options): PluginError

Creates a new PluginError instance.

Parameters​

options​

PluginErrorOptions

Plugin error construction options including the required plugin name and optional version for diagnostic context.

Returns​

PluginError

Example​

import { PluginError } from '#core/errors/plugin-error.js';

const error = new PluginError({
  message: 'Plugin incompatible with Praman v1.0',
  attempted: 'Load plugin my-custom-auth',
  pluginName: 'my-custom-auth',
  pluginVersion: '0.5.0',
  code: 'ERR_PLUGIN_INCOMPATIBLE',
});

stackTraceLimit​

static stackTraceLimit: number

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Methods​

toAIContext()​

toAIContext(): AIErrorContext & object

Returns AI-agent-friendly context with plugin-specific diagnostic fields.

Returns​

AIErrorContext & object

Base AI context extended with plugin name and version details.

Example​

const ctx = error.toAIContext();
// LLM can use ctx.pluginName to locate the plugin package
// and ctx.pluginVersion to check compatibility requirements

Overrides​

PramanError.toAIContext

toJSON()​

toJSON(): SerializedPramanError & object

Serializes this error to a JSON-safe object with plugin-specific fields.

Returns​

SerializedPramanError & object

Base serialization extended with pluginName and pluginVersion.

Example​

const json = error.toJSON();
console.log(json.pluginName);    // 'my-custom-auth'
console.log(json.pluginVersion); // '0.5.0'

Overrides​

PramanError.toJSON

toUserMessage()​

toUserMessage(): string

Formats the error for human-readable console output.

Returns​

string

Multi-line formatted string with all diagnostic sections.

Example​

console.error(error.toUserMessage());

Inherited from​

PramanError.toUserMessage

captureStackTrace()​

static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();

Parameters​
