Errors seem to be architecture dependant

[tback]

Current Behavior

Exceptions live in the platform dependent part. Handling them is therefore platform dependent as well. An example

...
onepassword.lib.aarch64.op_uniffi_core.Error.Error: msg='error resolving secret reference: the specified field cannot be found within the item'

Desired Behavior

Please have platform independent exceptions.

Benefits & Value

Code that is written on modern macs can be run on the developer machine natively and work the same way on production systems that are on intel

Hi @tback,

Sorry for the late response! The errors you are encountering are not platform dependent errors and is actually relevant to the entire SDK. We have improved the error messages with the latest SDKs and hope that addresses your issues. I will leave it open for discussion unless your okay with closing it.

0.1.1 was the current release at the time. Great you addressed that. The current state of typed Errors still leaves room for improvement though:

Now I get a generic Exception of type Exception for all but RateLimitExceededExceptions. From a user perspective it makes a difference if the vault is missing, the item is missing or if it is not unique. One might be expected (and caught) the other might my unexpected and should cause the program to terminate.
Right now the only way to deal with it is to compare error messages - which I assume might be tweaked in between versions.

Ahh yes, error messages will get updated and more similar to RateLimitExceededException can be added to the SDKs. I will raise this internally and to the product team for prioritization.

Thanks for the context!
