[FIXED] Google resource manager get all exceptions - Python

Issue

im making a python script that can manage my google projects. im having a insue with one part when i try to exclude the project its can return to me many errors.

i did a peace of code to get this exception:

        try:
            # Initialize request argument(s)

            request = DeleteProjectRequest(
                name=project,
            )
            self.project_manager.delete_project(request=request)

        except PermissionDenied as exc:
            # GCP returns PermissionDenied whether we actually does
            # not have permissions to perform the get_project call
            # or when the project does not exist. Due to this reason,
            # the PermissionDenied exception catch won't be deterministic.
            logger.error(f"Project '{project_id}' does not exist", exc)
            return False

i need to get the error message of all types of errors i changed except PermissionDenied as exc: for except Exception as exc: and it works but i need to call the logger only if the error is PermissionDenied and in all cases i need to call another function passing the message as parameter like it return_to_db(error_message)

my question is. how can i run only the logger if the error is PermissionDenied?

Solution

You can add a condition of the instance type of the current exception in Python, example :

        try:
            # Initialize request argument(s)

            request = DeleteProjectRequest(
                name=project,
            )
            self.project_manager.delete_project(request=request)

        except Exception as exc:
            if isinstance(exc, PermissionDenied):
               logger.error(f"Project '{project_id}' does not exist", exc)
            
        return False

As expected, the logger is executed only if the exception instance is PermissionDenied.
