Class Try<V>

java.lang.Object
org.junit.platform.commons.function.Try<V>
@API(status=MAINTAINED, since="1.4") public abstract class Try<V> extends Object
A container object which may either contain a nullable value in case of success or an exception in case of failure.

Instances of this class should be returned by methods instead of Optional when callers might want to report the exception via logging or by wrapping it in another exception at a later point in time, e.g. via getOrThrow(Function).

Moreover, it makes it particularly convenient to attach follow-up actions should the Try have been successful (cf. andThen(java.util.function.Function<V, org.junit.platform.commons.function.Try<U>>) and andThenTry(org.junit.platform.commons.function.Try.Transformer<V, U>)) or fallback actions should it not have been (cf. orElse(java.util.function.Supplier<org.junit.platform.commons.function.Try<V>>) and orElseTry(java.util.concurrent.Callable<V>)).

    Description
    abstract <U> Try<U>
    andThen(Function<V,Try<U>> function)
    If this Try is a success, apply the supplied function to its value and return the resulting Try; if this Try is a failure, do nothing.
    abstract <U> Try<U>
    andThenTry(Try.Transformer<V,U> transformer)
    If this Try is a success, apply the supplied transformer to its value and return a new successful or failed Try depending on the transformer's outcome; if this Try is a failure, do nothing.
    static <V> Try<V>
    call(Callable<V> action)
    Call the supplied Callable and return a successful Try that contains the returned value or, in case an exception was thrown, a failed Try that contains the exception.
    static <V> Try<V>
    failure(Exception cause)
    Convert the supplied exception into a failed Try.
    abstract V
    get()
    If this Try is a success, get the contained value; if this Try is a failure, throw the contained exception.
    abstract <E extends Exception>
    V
    getOrThrow(Function<? super Exception,E> exceptionTransformer)
    If this Try is a success, get the contained value; if this Try is a failure, call the supplied Function with the contained exception and throw the resulting Exception.
    abstract Try<V>
    ifFailure(Consumer<Exception> causeConsumer)

    abstract Try<V>
    ifSuccess(Consumer<V> valueConsumer)
    If this Try is a success, call the supplied Consumer with the contained value; otherwise, do nothing.
    abstract Try<V>
    orElse(Supplier<Try<V>> supplier)
    If this Try is a failure, call the supplied supplier and return the resulting Try; if this Try is a success, do nothing.
    abstract Try<V>
    orElseTry(Callable<V> action)
    If this Try is a failure, call the supplied action and return a new successful or failed Try depending on the action's outcome; if this Try is a success, do nothing.
    static <V> Try<V>
    success(V value)
    Convert the supplied value into a succeeded Try.
    abstract Optional<V>
    toOptional()
    If this Try is a failure, return an empty Optional; if this Try is a success, wrap the contained value using Optional.ofNullable(Object).
