Subject: [pdm-devel] [RFC PATCH datacenter-manager] server: api: resources: use root cause for errors for remote fetching
Date: Tue,  9 Sep 2025 10:25:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250909082608.1018103-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)

when we can't reach a remote for any reason, we want to return the error
as a string here over the API. Since most errors that can occur here are
client/network related (wrong credentials, no route to host, timeout,
etc.) converting this error directly to a string gives us
errors like:

`client error (Connect)`

which is not really helpful most of the time.
Instead if we use the `root_cause()`, we get the most underlying error

e.g.

`error connecting to https://0.0.0.0:8006/ - tcp connect error: No route to host (os error 113)`

which is much more helpful.

We could also think about printing the whole error chain, but in my test
cases here this was not more helpful, e.g. i got two times the above
`client error (Connect)` and once the root cause from above.
