Error Handling

C++

In case of an error, the libfacerec library throws the pbio::Error exception, so the return values are always correct and no additional check is required. The pbio::Error class is derived from the std::exception. Its member function pbio::Error::what returns a null-terminated character sequence, which identifies the exception. Its member function pbio::Error::code returns an unsigned integer code of an exception.

Example:

...
try
{
    pbio::Capturer::Ptr capturer = service->createCapturer("not_exist.xml");
    ...
}
catch(const pbio::Error &e)
{
    std::cerr << "facerec exception caught: '" << e.what() << "' code: " << std::hex << e.code() << std::endl;
}
// Output must be:
// facerec exception caught: 'Assertion 'file_storage.isOpened()' failed (error creating Capturer: ini file not opened), error code: 0x6b1ae8c5. wrap code: 0x272e96e4.' code: 6b1ae8c5

Java

In case of an error, an exception is thrown from the com.vdt.face_recognition.sdk.SDKException class derived from the java.lang.RuntimeException base class. Its method com.vdt.face_recognition.sdk.SDKException.getMessage() returns a string with an error description, and the com.vdt.face_recognition.sdk.SDKException.code() method returns an unsigned integer code of exception.

Example:

...
try
{
    service.createCapturer(service.new Config("not_exist.xml"));
}
catch (SDKException e)
{
    System.out.println("facerec exception caught: '" + e.getMessage() + "'");
}
// Output must be:
// facerec exception caught: 'Assertion 'file_storage.isOpened()' failed (error creating Capturer: ini file not opened), error code: 0x6b1ae8c5. wrap code: 0x7c7b4c95.'

C#

In case of an error, an exception is thrown from the VDT.FaceRecognition.SDK.Error class derived from the VDT.FaceRecognition.SDK.Exception class. Its property VDT.FaceRecognition.SDK.Error.Message returns a string with an error description, and the VDT.FaceRecognition.SDK.Error.Code method returns an unsigned integer code of exception.

Example:

...
try
{
    service.createCapturer("not_exist.xml");
}
catch (Error e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("facerec exception caught: '" + e.message() + "'");
}
// Output must be:
// facerec exception caught: 'Assertion 'file_storage.isOpened()' failed (error creating Capturer: ini file not opened), error code: 0x6b1ae8c5. wrap code: 0x7c7b4c95.'

Python

In case of an error, the Error exception (derived from the Exception class) is thrown. Its property Error.message returns a string with an error description, and the Error.code method returns a hex code of exception.

Example:

...
from face_sdk import Error

try:
    service.create_capturer(Config("not_exist.xml"))
except Error as e:
    print("facerec exception caught: '{}'".format(e))


# Output must be:
# facerec exception caught: '0x2e5d42a1: Assertion 'file_storage.isOpened()' failed (error creating Capturer: ini file not opened. System error description: No such file or directory), error code: 0x2e5d42a1. wrap code: 0x0d33c4f6.'
