Description

This PR defines specific, typed library exceptions subclassing a common base exception OpenEVSEError to replace generic RuntimeError and command-rejection UnknownError instances across charger command and control methods.

  • Added OpenEVSEError(Exception) as the base library exception class and updated all existing exceptions to inherit from it.
  • Defined CommandFailedError(OpenEVSEError) for command rejections and failures.
  • Defined UnknownStateError(OpenEVSEError) when charger/shaper state or configuration is missing prior to command execution.
  • Defined FirmwareResolutionError(OpenEVSEError) when automatic firmware release URL resolution fails.
  • Replaced RuntimeError and command-rejection UnknownError in openevsehttp/commands.py.
  • Exported all new exceptions in openevsehttp/__init__.py.
  • Updated unit tests to assert the new exceptions and added test coverage for the exception hierarchy.

Fixes #684

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The package adds a shared exception hierarchy and exports specialized errors. Command methods now raise typed exceptions for rejected operations, unknown state, and firmware resolution failures. Tests validate the hierarchy and updated command behavior.

Changes

Typed OpenEVSE exception handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Exception hierarchy and package exports
openevsehttp/exceptions.py, openevsehttp/__init__.py
Adds OpenEVSEError and specialized exception classes. Exports the new classes from the package.
Command failure and state mappings
openevsehttp/commands.py
Replaces generic errors with CommandFailedError, UnknownStateError, and FirmwareResolutionError across HTTP and RAPI command paths.
Exception behavior tests
tests/test_client.py, tests/test_commands.py, tests/test_managers.py, tests/test_shaper.py
Updates failure assertions and verifies that package exceptions inherit from OpenEVSEError.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2a0fa

The PR introduces typed exceptions and updates related callers and tests; the remaining issue is a minor test-pattern precision fix with no indicated production impact, so it is merge-ready after normal review.

Poem

A rabbit reviews each typed error with care,
Command failures hop through the proper snare.
Unknown states pause by the charger’s side,
Firmware paths seek where releases hide.
“All tests pass!” the bunny cried.
