Exceptions¶

Error name bound exceptions¶

These exceptions are bound to specific dbus error names. For example, DbusFailedError is bound to org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed error name.

This means if the remote object sends an error message with this error name the Python will receive this exception.

When raised in a method callback an error message will be sent back to caller.

See list of error exceptions.

New error bound exceptions¶

If you want to create a new error bound exception you should subclass it from DbusFailedError and provide a unique dbus_error_name attribute in the exception body definition.

Example:

class DbusExampleError(DbusFailedError):
    dbus_error_name = 'org.example.Error'

If dbus_error_name is not unique the ValueError will be raised.

Defining an exception will automatically bind incoming error message to this new exception.

Existing exceptions can be manually binded using map_exception_to_dbus_error() function.

Python built-in exceptions¶

All Python built-in exceptions are mapped to D-Bus errors.

The D-Bus error name is created by appending org.python.Error. to the exception name.

For example, AssertionError is bound to org.python.Error.AssertionError name.

Functions¶

sdbus.exceptions.map_exception_to_dbus_error(exception, dbus_error_name)¶

Map exception to a D-bus error. Error name must be unique.

Parameters:

exception (Type[Exception]) – Exception to bind.
dbus_error_name (str) – D-Bus error name to bind to.

Other exceptions¶

exception sdbus.exceptions.SdBusBaseError¶: Base exceptions for all exceptions defined in sdbus.

exception sdbus.exceptions.SdBusUnmappedMessageError¶

Message error that is unmapped.

The exceptions argument is a tuple of error name and error message.

exception sdbus.exceptions.SdBusLibraryError¶

sd-bus library returned error.

Exception message contains line number and the error name.

Name request exceptions¶

These exceptions will be raise if an error related to ownership of D-Bus names occurs when calling request_default_bus_name_async() or request_default_bus_name().

exception sdbus.exceptions.SdBusRequestNameError¶: Common base exception for any name ownership error.

exception sdbus.exceptions.SdBusRequestNameInQueueError¶: Someone already owns the name but the request has been placed in queue.

exception sdbus.exceptions.SdBusRequestNameExistsError¶: Someone already owns the name.

exception sdbus.exceptions.SdBusRequestNameAlreadyOwnerError¶: The caller already owns the name.

Error name exception list¶

exception sdbus.exceptions.DbusFailedError¶

Generic failure exception.

Recommended to subclass to create a new exception.

Probably should only be raised by bus daemon.

dbus_error_name: str = org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown¶

exception sdbus.exceptions.DbusNameHasNoOwnerError¶

No process owns the name you called.

Probably should only be raised by bus daemon.
