From ebe3bdc4359e07b4e347af8d5324fb436302bbe1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2023 07:56:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tools: ynl: throw a more meaningful exception if family not supported cli.py currently throws a pure KeyError if kernel doesn't support a netlink family. Users who did not write ynl (hah) may waste their time investigating what's wrong with the Python code. Improve the error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/kicinski/devel/linux/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 362, in __init__ self.family = GenlFamily(self.yaml['name']) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/kicinski/devel/linux/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 331, in __init__ self.genl_family = genl_family_name_to_id[family_name] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^ KeyError: 'netdev' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/kicinski/devel/linux/./tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 52, in main() File "/home/kicinski/devel/linux/./tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 31, in main ynl = YnlFamily(args.spec, args.schema) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/kicinski/devel/linux/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 364, in __init__ raise Exception(f"Family '{self.yaml['name']}' not supported by the kernel") Exception: Family 'netdev' not supported by the kernel Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230407145609.297525-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni --- tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py b/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py index 7690e0b..aa77bca 100644 --- a/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py +++ b/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py @@ -358,7 +358,10 @@ class YnlFamily(SpecFamily): bound_f = functools.partial(self._op, op_name) setattr(self, op.ident_name, bound_f) - self.family = GenlFamily(self.yaml['name']) + try: + self.family = GenlFamily(self.yaml['name']) + except KeyError: + raise Exception(f"Family '{self.yaml['name']}' not supported by the kernel") def ntf_subscribe(self, mcast_name): if mcast_name not in self.family.genl_family['mcast']: -- 2.7.4
