Based on some googling I installed the following error handler. However the python exceptions which appear to return a http 500 are not trapped by this stuff, although 404's are. With the print statements I have left in the code below, I can see that it does not hit any of these routines. What should I really be doing?
class ErrorHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
"""Generates an error response with status_code for all requests."""
def __init__ (self, application, request, status_code):
print 'In ErrorHandler init'
tornado.web.RequestHandler.__init__(self, application, request)
self.set_status(status_code)
def get_error_html (self, status_code, **kwargs):
print 'In get_error_html. status_code: ', status_code
if status_code in [403, 404, 500, 503]:
filename = '%d.html' % status_code
print 'rendering filename: ', filename
return self.render_string(filename, title=config.get_title())
return "<html><title>%(code)d: %(message)s</title>" \
"<body class='bodyErrorPage'>%(code)d: %(message)s</body>"\
"</html>" % {
"code": status_code,
"message": httplib.responses[status_code],
}
def prepare (self):
print 'In prepare...'
raise tornado.web.HTTPError(self._status_code)
First of all, the exception that you are raising in prepare
has code 200
, therefore it's not caught in the get_error_html
function.
Secondly, get_error_html
is deprecated: use write_error
, instead (write_error).
Finally, you don't need to call __init__
on ErrorHandler
: to initialize a handler use initialize
(initialize), but in this case you don't need it.
Here is a working example:
import tornado
import tornado.web
class ErrorHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
"""Generates an error response with status_code for all requests."""
def write_error(self, status_code, **kwargs):
print 'In get_error_html. status_code: ', status_code
if status_code in [403, 404, 500, 503]:
self.write('Error %s' % status_code)
else:
self.write('BOOM!')
def prepare(self):
print 'In prepare...'
raise Exception('Error!')
application = tornado.web.Application([
(r"/", ErrorHandler),
])
if __name__ == "__main__":
application.listen(8899)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
- Handlers. Lets define some default handlers we gonna to use
import tornado.web
class BaseHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
"""
Base handler gonna to be used instead of RequestHandler
"""
def write_error(self, status_code, **kwargs):
if status_code in [403, 404, 500, 503]:
self.write('Error %s' % status_code)
else:
self.write('BOOM!')
class ErrorHandler(tornado.web.ErrorHandler, BaseHandler):
"""
Default handler gonna to be used in case of 404 error
"""
pass
class MainHandler(BaseHandler):
"""
Main handler
"""
def get(self):
self.write('Hello world!')
- Settings. We need to define
default_handler_class
and default_handler_args
as well
settings = {
'default_handler_class': ErrorHandler,
'default_handler_args': dict(status_code=404)
}
- Application.
application = tornado.web.Application([
(r"/", MainHandler)
], **settings)
as result. all errors except 404 gonna be handled by BaseHandler. 404 - ErrorHandler. that's it :)
import tornado.web
class BaseHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
def write_error(self, status_code, **kwargs):
print status_code
super(BaseHandler, self).write_error(status_code, **kwargs)
