Notes: 12. Handle Errors

URLSession - Apple Developer

Heads up... You've reached locked video content where the transcript will be shown as obfuscated text.

Errors happen all the time, especially when working with networks. There are two levels of errors to think about when working with URL requests: 1. Thrown errors from the functions themselves. 2. Non-successful HTTP status codes.

func downloadSong(at url: URL) async throws {   // THIS IS NEW!
  …
}
class SongDownloader: ObservableObject {
  // MARK: Song Download Error
  enum SongDownloadError: Error {
    case invalidResponse
  }

  …
}
let (downloadURL, response) = try await session.download(from: url)
throw SongDownloadError.invalidResponse
enum SongDownloadError: Error {
  case documentDirectoryError       // THIS IS NEW!
  case invalidResponse
}
guard let documentsPath = fileManager.urls(for: .documentDirectory,
                                           in: .userDomainMask).first
else {
  throw SongDownloadError.documentDirectoryError    // THIS IS NEW!
}
enum SongDownloadError: Error {
  case documentDirectoryError
  case failedToStoreSong        // THIS IS NEW!
  case invalidResponse
}
do {
  if fileManager.fileExists(atPath: destinationURL.path) {
    try fileManager.removeItem(at: destinationURL)
  }
        
  try fileManager.copyItem(at: downloadURL, to: destinationURL)
} catch {
  throw SongDownloadError.failedToStoreSong     // THIS IS NEW!
}
@MainActor @State private var showDownloadFailedAlert: Bool = false
do {
  try await downloader.downloadSong(at: previewURL)
} catch let error {
  print(error)

  showDownloadFailedAlert = true
}
Button(action: {
  Task {
    await downloadTapped()
  }
}) {
  if isDownloading {
    Text("Downloading...")
  } else {
    Text(downloader.downloadLocation == nil ? "Download" : "Listen")
  }
}   
    // THIS IS NEW!!!!
.alert("Download Failed", isPresented: $showDownloadFailedAlert) {
  Button("Dismiss", role: .cancel) {
        showDownloadFailedAlert = false
    }
}
.disabled(isDownloading)
