Often it's useful to wrap errors to provide more contextual information about errors. Go
errors
standard library have few convenient functions to inspect wrapped errors: errors.Is and errors.As.consensus
package defines few constant errors (egconsensus.ErrUnknownAncestor
), which don't carry much information.In a fork I'm developing, I'm wrapping errors from
consensus
package, but this breaks some of thecore
functionality, as it is using static checks, which is not very scaleable (functional wise). For start I would like to port some of this changes here and maybe in the future we can wrap errors.
