commandErrorResult()

readonly commandErrorResult: (this, err, ansiColor) => string

Formatted error message for the case where an Error was safely returned from the command. Users are most likely to hit this case, so make sure that the error text provides practical, usable feedback.

If ansiColor is true, this string can use ANSI terminal codes. Codes may have already been applied so be aware you may have to reset to achieve the desired output.

Parameters

this: ExceptionFormatting

err: Error

ansiColor: boolean

Returns

string

exceptionWhileLoadingCommandContext()

readonly exceptionWhileLoadingCommandContext: (this, exc, ansiColor) => string

Formatted error message for the case where some exception was thrown while loading the context for the command run. This likely indicates an issue with the application itself or possibly the user's installation of the application.

exceptionWhileParsingArguments()

readonly exceptionWhileParsingArguments: (this, exc, ansiColor) => string

Formatted error message for the case where some exception was thrown while parsing the arguments.

Exceptions intentionally thrown by this library while parsing arguments will extend from ArgumentScannerError. These subclasses provide additional context about the specific error. Use the formatMessageForArgumentScannerError helper to handle the different error types.
