Improve the structure of sentry reports #94
Conversation
This commit extracts more safe details for the error hidden behind a barrier. It achieves this using the new `SafeFormatError()` API via the `redact` package. As a side effect, this guarantees that a sentry report for a barrier (including, but not limited to, assertion failures constructed with errors.NewAssertionErrorWithWrappedErrf) now always spells out the type of the error behind the barrier. It also includes any safe-for-reporting strings that the hidden error object would report when printed out via `%+v`. Note that this patch is a band-aid: this is really adding more complexity to the `SafeDetails()` API, which is arguably somewhat obsolete now that the `errors` and `redact` packages collaborate to extract safe strings. However, there is some marginal utility remaining, in the particular case of an error object transported over the wire where the target server doesn't know how to decode the error behind the barrier; in this case, the approach taken here ensures that a modicum of reportable structure is still included.

Nice catch. fixed.
This commit changes the composition of Sentry reports to include a redacted verbose printout of the error at the beginning of the main Message field. This ensures that error objects with more complex printouts than just safe detail strings get spelled out more clearly in the sentry reports. One example of this is that the tree structure of errors included behind barriers (e.g. that included behind errors.NewAssertionErrorWithWrappedErrf) is preserved in the sentry printout.

This changes the implementation of barriers to use a redactable string as message payload. This makes it possible to include more details (all the safe parts of the message payload) when printing out the barrier cause. In order to ensure safety when interacting with previous versions of the library without this logic, we must be careful to wrap/escape the message string received when decoding a network error. To force this additional wrapping, we rename the error type so that it can get a separate decode function.

This PR includes a redacted copy of the verbose error printout in the Message field of Sentry reports.
This, arguably, was desirable from the beginning, but was impossible when the
errors
library was first designed, because at the time we did not have a reliable redaction library. Now that we have one, we can use it.The main visible improvement resulting from this PR is the verbose (and tree-preserving) printout of the error hidden behind barriers (e.g. those included behind assertion failures). However, this change will also now include more details about other situations, such as:
(and more generally leverages the full power of the recently redesigned errors.FormatError code)
For example, given the starting point Go code:
