How to capture the error message
I want to capture the error message so I can do different actions depending on the text. I can't figure out how to code this. Here's my code...
if DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient != nil {
print("We have an authorized client. Now let's see if we can get the file attributes")
// Check to see if Nvelopes.csv exists in Dropbox.
// client!.files.getMetadata(path: "/Nvelopes.csv")
client!.files.getMetadata(path: "/Nvelopes1.csv")
.response {_ , error in
if let error = error {
print("We did not get the attributes :(")
print(error.description)
self.window?.rootViewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "sbLinkToDropbox") as UIViewController
}
}
}... and here's the result of print(error.description):
[request-id 7185a7cb73542868da1649971559a895] API route error - {
".tag" = path;
path = {
".tag" = "not_found";
};
}How do I capture the part after ".tag" =??
Thanks for your patience!
There's an example of breaking down the error like this in the readme here:
https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox#route-specific-errors
That example is for the delete call, but the mechanic is the same. For getMetadata, the route-specific error type is GetMetadataError.
Be sure to check out the section right after that for an example of handling higher-level errors too.
You can make the error handling as broad or as specific as you wish by breaking out each case (or not).
