Same question as the other PR, any reason to not have this as a single line with log.Errorf()

I went and checked out the other PR but didn't see an explanation for this line break?

sorry if this was all very unclear. The reason for the splitting out the error formatting to fmt.Errorf
is because log.Errorf
does not support the %w
directive. The reason for not having it all on a single line (e.g., log.Errorf(fmt.Errorf(...
was for ease of readability.
After being round the houses with all of this a little bit, I believe we can switch all this to a log.WithError(err).Error(...
. I will push said changes to this PR 😄

logs are not printing correctly after these changes, but this is just because the fix is made in in-toto/go-witness#85 and therefore won't be utilised in This has been tested against

Looks good!
When looking at #293, it was clear that there were some issues occurring with formatting of error messages:
ERROR failed to create fulcio signer: %!w(*errors.errorString=&{square/go-jose: missing payload in JWS message})
After exploring this, it seemed that using
fmt.Errorf
to format the error first was the safer way to go, and using the%w
formatting directive was worthwhile as it gives returned errors anUnwrap
method for unwrapping the argument presented with%w
initially (see here).The result of the refactoring gives the following error message:
ERROR failed to create fulcio signer: square/go-jose: compact JWS format must have three parts
