When handling exceptions, preserve the original error context and provide clear, actionable error messages. This helps with debugging and improves the developer experience. Key practices:

Example of good error handling:
def handle_task_error(exc):
try:
# Attempt full error serialization
return {
"error_type": type(exc).__name__,
"error_details": str(exc),
"traceback": "".join(format_exception(type(exc), exc, exc.__traceback__)),
}
except Exception:
# Fallback to basic error information if serialization fails
return {
"error_type": type(exc).__name__,
"error_message": str(exc),
"note": "Full error details unavailable - serialization failed"
}
This approach ensures that error information is preserved as much as possible, with a fallback mechanism when full details cannot be captured. It helps maintain debuggability while being robust against serialization or logging failures.
