Locker Secret SDK offers some kinds of errors. They can reflect external events, like invalid credentials, network interruptions, or code problems, like invalid API calls.

If an immediate problem prevents a function from continuing, the SDK raises an exception. It’s a best practice to catch and handle exceptions. To catch an exception, use Python’s try/except syntax. Catch locker.error.LockerError or its subclasses to handle Locker-specific exceptions only. Each subclass represents a different kind of exception. When you catch an exception, you can use its class to choose a response.

Example:

from locker import Locker
from locker.error import LockerError


# Create a new secret and handle error
try:
    new_secret = locker.create(key="YOUR_KEY", value="your_key_value", environment_name="staging")
    print(new_secret.key, new_secret.value, new_secret.description, new_secret.environment_name)
except LockerError as e:
    print(e.user_message)
    print(e.http_body)

In the SDK, error objects belong to locker.error.LockerError and its subclasses. Use the documentation for each class for advice about how to respond.
