SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill codifies robust error handling patterns for ovrtx, covering both Python and C APIs to help developers detect, diagnose, and recover from failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Python: catch RuntimeError around API calls and around wait() for async operations.
  • C: check every returned status, use the provided helper for error printing, and inspect wait results for per-operation errors.
  • Guidance for diagnosing common ovrtx failures and applying appropriate recovery or propagation strategies.

Quick Start

Run a minimal ovrtx Python example and wrap API calls with try/except RuntimeError to observe error handling.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle runtime errors in Python ovrtx API calls?

Handle Python runtime errors in ovrtx by wrapping API calls and async wait() operations in try/except RuntimeError blocks to detect, diagnose, and recover from failures.

What is the best way to check for errors in C ovrtx applications?

Check for errors in C ovrtx applications by validating the returned status explicitly after every API call and using ovrtx_get_last_error() for diagnostic printing.

Why does my asynchronous ovrtx operation fail without throwing a Python exception?

Asynchronous ovrtx operations fail silently because runtime errors are deferred; you must wrap the wait() call in try/except RuntimeError to catch exceptions raised upon completion.

How do I diagnose per-operation status failures in C ovrtx workflows?

Diagnose per-operation status failures in C ovrtx workflows by inspecting wait results and validating the explicit status code returned after each individual C API call.

Can I use standard exception handling for both synchronous and asynchronous ovrtx Python paths?

Yes, you can use standard exception handling for both paths by applying try/except RuntimeError around synchronous API calls and around the wait() method for asynchronous operations.
