error management

A special layer on top of the API is the error boundary within the with blocks of spans. This layer catches exceptions and prints them. The pattern here is to catch all runtime errors and return a 422 status, indicating that an unexpected error has occurred, not a validation error. If you need to return validation data to the user, you must return a Result object on your own.

@action(detail=True, methods=["post"], url_path="my-action")
def my_action(self, request, pk):
    tr = tracing.DjangoAPITracer(request)

    serializer = serializers.ProductSyncSerializer(data=request.data)
    serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)

    with tr.start_span('proceed') as span:
        raise Exception('something unhandle')

    trace_data = tr.close()
    return Response({
        'trace': trace_data,
    }, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED if tr.is_success else status.HTTP_422_UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY)

Another pattern to note is that every with block should contain a repeatable operation. You can create structures where you can run blocks side by side and only repeat some of them. However, be careful: while the with block catches exceptions, it may not guarantee that all variables are set.

tr = tracing.DjangoAPITracer(request)

is_a_success = False
is_b_success = False
is_c_success = False

with tr.start_span('A') as span_a:
    is_a_success = False

with tr.start_span('B') as span_b:
    is_b_success = True

with tr.start_span('C') as span_c:
    if is_a_success:
        pass
