newtype CatchT (m :: Type -> Type) a Source #
Add Exception
handling abilities to a Monad
.
This should never be used in combination with IO
. Think of CatchT
as an alternative base monad for use with mocking code that solely throws
exceptions via throwM
.
Note: that IO
monad has these abilities already, so stacking CatchT
on top
of it does not add any value and can possibly be confusing:
>>>
(error "Hello!" :: IO ()) `catch` (\(e :: ErrorCall) -> liftIO $ print e)
Hello!
>>>
runCatchT $ (error "Hello!" :: CatchT IO ()) `catch` (\(e :: ErrorCall) -> liftIO $ print e)
*** Exception: Hello!
>>>
runCatchT $ (throwM (ErrorCall "Hello!") :: CatchT IO ()) `catch` (\(e :: ErrorCall) -> liftIO $ print e)
Hello!
