similar to what we do for the extjs formatter, put the error message or status message in the 'message' property of the return object.
This way client libraries can extract the error without having to parse the HTTP status reason phrase (which is not possible in all http libraries, e.g. hyperium's http rust crate). This should not be a breaking change, since it just adds a (semi) new field to the return value. Signed-off-by: Dominik Csapak <d.csa...@proxmox.com> --- we could of course put the error also in the 'errors' hash with a special key like '_api', but i opted for mirroring the 'extjs' formatter behaviour for consistency. src/PVE/APIServer/Formatter/Standard.pm | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/PVE/APIServer/Formatter/Standard.pm b/src/PVE/APIServer/Formatter/Standard.pm index 5211473..eca928d 100644 --- a/src/PVE/APIServer/Formatter/Standard.pm +++ b/src/PVE/APIServer/Formatter/Standard.pm @@ -33,6 +33,10 @@ sub prepare_response_data { $res->{status} = 200; } $new->{success} = $success; + } elsif ($format eq 'json') { + if (HTTP::Status::is_error($res->{status})) { + $new->{message} = "$res->{message}" || status_message($res->{status}); + } } if ($success && $res->{total}) { -- 2.39.5 _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
