ContentHelperError: Avoid double prefix in error messages

[acicovic]

Description

Our ContentHelperError class injects an Error: prefix when displaying error messages. However, some of these messages may already start with this prefix, ending up with error messages like "Error: Error: This is an error message". This PR takes care of repeated prefixes by eliminating them.

Motivation and context

Improve our error strings.

How has this been tested?

Manual testing.

You can disable this status message by setting the reviews.review_status to false in the CodeRabbit configuration file.

Walkthrough

The ContentHelperError class has been updated to prevent double message prefixes in its error messages. Instead of a generic "prefix" variable, the constructor now uses "messagePrefix" and includes logic to ensure that the prefix is only added once, avoiding redundancy.

Changes

File	Change Summary
src/content-helper/common/content-helper-error.tsx	Modified ContentHelperError class constructor to use messagePrefix and added a check to prevent duplicate prefixes.

Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.
  • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

55-63: Ensure proper handling of message prefixes.

The constructor effectively checks if the message starts with the messagePrefix, and if so, it sets the messagePrefix to an empty string to avoid duplication. This is a straightforward and effective solution to the problem described in the PR. However, consider adding a trim operation to handle cases where there might be whitespace between concatenated segments.

- if (message.startsWith(messagePrefix)) {
+ if (message.startsWith(messagePrefix.trim())) {
  messagePrefix = '';
}

---

66-66: Good use of standard error handling patterns.

Initializing the error with the concatenated messagePrefix and message is a good practice. It ensures that all errors have a consistent format, which is crucial for debugging and user communication.

---

66-66: Consider adding a comment for clarity.

It might be helpful to add a comment explaining why this.name is set to this.constructor.name. This is not a common practice and might confuse future maintainers.

+ // Setting the error name to the class name for better error identification in logs.
this.name = this.constructor.name;
