5843 :: How do I raise an error?

• blippy (orginal) [2020-01-21T20:18:42+01:00] view original

  I'm trying to throw an error. I tried

  raise newOSError(13, "Unknown opcode:" )
  Run

  but I'm getting

  
   Error: type mismatch: got <int literal(13), string>
  but expected one of:
  proc newOSError(errorCode: OSErrorCode; additionalInfo = ""): owned(ref OSError)
    first type mismatch at position: 1
    required type for errorCode: OSErrorCode
    but expression '13' is of type: int literal(13)
  Run

  I don't know what I should do.

  Ah, OK, I figured it out:

  raise newException(OSError, "Unkown opcode")
  Run
