Detailed Description

Class that encapsulates a reply coming from the helper after executing an action.

Helper applications will return this to describe the result of the action.

Callers should access the reply though the KAuth::ExecuteJob job.

Since
4.4

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Error

The enumeration of the possible values of errorCode() when type() is ActionReply::KAuthError.

Enumerator
NoError 

No error.

NoResponderError 

The helper responder object hasn't been set. This shouldn't happen if you use the KAUTH_HELPER macro in the helper source.

NoSuchActionError 

The action you tried to execute doesn't exist.

InvalidActionError 

You tried to execute an invalid action object.

AuthorizationDeniedError 

You don't have the authorization to execute the action.

The helper is busy executing another action (or group of actions). Try later.

AlreadyStartedError 

The action was already started and is currently running.

DBusError 

An error from D-Bus occurred.

BackendError 

The underlying backend reported an error.

Definition at line 362 of file actionreply.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ActionReply() [1/4]

KAuth::ActionReply::ActionReply ( )

Default constructor. Sets type() to Success and errorCode() to zero.

Definition at line 95 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ ActionReply() [2/4]

KAuth::ActionReply::ActionReply ( ActionReply::Type type)

Constructor to directly set the type.

This constructor directly sets the reply type. You shouldn't need to directly call this constructor, because you can use the more convenient predefined replies constants. You also shouldn't create a reply with the KAuthError type because it's reserved for errors coming from the library.

Parameters
typeThe type of the new reply

Definition at line 102 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ ActionReply() [3/4]

KAuth::ActionReply::ActionReply ( int errorCode)

Constructor that creates a KAuthError reply with a specified error code.

Do not use outside the library.

This constructor is for internal use only, since it creates a reply with KAuthError type, which is reserved for errors coming from the library.

Parameters
errorCodeThe error code of the new reply

Definition at line 109 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ ActionReply() [4/4]

KAuth::ActionReply::ActionReply ( const ActionReply & reply)

Copy constructor.

Definition at line 90 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ ~ActionReply()

KAuth::ActionReply::~ActionReply ( )
virtual

Virtual destructor.

Definition at line 116 of file actionreply.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addData()

void KAuth::ActionReply::addData ( const QString & key,
const QVariant & value )

Convenience method to add some data to the reply.

This method adds the pair key/value to the QVariantMap used to report back custom data to the application.

Use this method if you don't want to create a new QVariantMap only to add a new entry.

Parameters
keyThe new entry's key
valueThe value of the new entry

Definition at line 125 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ AlreadyStartedReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::AlreadyStartedReply ( )
static

errorCode() == AlreadyStartedError

Definition at line 80 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ AuthorizationDeniedReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::AuthorizationDeniedReply ( )
static

errorCode() == AuthorizationDenied

Definition at line 68 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ data()

QVariantMap KAuth::ActionReply::data ( ) const

Returns the custom data coming from the helper.

This method is used to get the object that contains the custom data coming from the helper. In the helper's code, you can set it using setData() or the convenience method addData().

Returns
The data coming from (or that will be sent by) the helper

Definition at line 130 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ DBusErrorReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::DBusErrorReply ( )
static

errorCode() == DBusError

Definition at line 84 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ deserialize()

ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::deserialize ( const QByteArray & data)
static

Deserialize a reply from a QByteArray.

This method returns a reply from a QByteArray obtained from the serialized() method.

Parameters
dataA QByteArray obtained with serialized()

Definition at line 198 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ error()

int KAuth::ActionReply::error ( ) const

Returns the error code of an error reply.

The error code returned is one of the values in the ActionReply::Error enumeration if type() == KAuthError, or is totally application-dependent if type() == HelperError. It also should be zero for successful replies.

Returns
The reply error code

Definition at line 168 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ errorCode()

ActionReply::Error KAuth::ActionReply::errorCode ( ) const

Returns the error code of an error reply.

The error code returned is one of the values in the ActionReply::Error enumeration if type() == KAuthError. Result is only valid if the type() == HelperError

Returns
The reply error code

Definition at line 155 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ errorDescription()

QString KAuth::ActionReply::errorDescription ( ) const

Gets a human-readble description of the error, if available.

Currently, replies of type KAuthError rarely report an error description. This situation could change in the future.

By now, you can use this method for custom errors of type HelperError.

Returns
The error human-readable description

Definition at line 178 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ failed()

bool KAuth::ActionReply::failed ( ) const

Returns true if type() != Success.

Definition at line 150 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ HelperBusyReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::HelperBusyReply ( )
static

errorCode() == HelperBusy

Definition at line 76 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ HelperErrorReply() [1/2]

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::HelperErrorReply ( )
static

An empty reply with type() == HelperError and errorCode() == -1.

Definition at line 44 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ HelperErrorReply() [2/2]

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::HelperErrorReply ( int error)
static

An empty reply with type() == HelperError and error is set to the passed value.

Definition at line 50 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ InvalidActionReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::InvalidActionReply ( )
static

errorCode() == InvalidAction

Definition at line 64 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ NoResponderReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::NoResponderReply ( )
static

errorCode() == NoResponder

Definition at line 56 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ NoSuchActionReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::NoSuchActionReply ( )
static

errorCode() == NoSuchAction

Definition at line 60 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ operator!=()

bool KAuth::ActionReply::operator!= ( const ActionReply & reply) const

Negated comparison operator.

See the operator==() for an important notice.

Definition at line 228 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ operator=()

ActionReply & KAuth::ActionReply::operator= ( const ActionReply & reply)

Assignment operator.

Definition at line 212 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ operator==()

bool KAuth::ActionReply::operator== ( const ActionReply & reply) const

Comparison operator.

This operator checks if the type and the error code of two replies are the same. It doesn't compare the data or the error descriptions, so be careful.

The suggested use is to compare a reply against one of the predefined error replies:

// Do something...
}
static const ActionReply HelperBusyReply()
errorCode() == HelperBusy

Note that you can do it also by compare errorCode() with the relative enumeration value.

Definition at line 223 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ serialized()

QByteArray KAuth::ActionReply::serialized ( ) const

Serialize the reply into a QByteArray.

This is a convenience method used internally to sent the reply to a remote peer. To recreate the reply, use deserialize()

Returns
A QByteArray representation of this reply

Definition at line 188 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ setData()

void KAuth::ActionReply::setData ( const QVariantMap & data)

Sets the custom data to send back to the application.

In the helper's code you can use this function to set an QVariantMap with custom data that will be sent back to the application.

Parameters
dataThe new QVariantMap object.

Definition at line 120 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ setError()

void KAuth::ActionReply::setError ( int error)

Sets the error code of an error reply.

If you're setting the error code in the helper because you need to return an error to the application, please make sure you already have set the type to HelperError, either by calling setType() or by creating the reply in the right way.

If the type is Success when you call this method, it will become KAuthError

Parameters
errorThe new reply error code

Definition at line 173 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ setErrorCode()

void KAuth::ActionReply::setErrorCode ( Error errorCode)

Sets the error code of an error reply.

See also
If you're setting the error code in the helper, use setError(int)

If the type is Success when you call this method, it will become KAuthError

Parameters
errorCodeThe new reply error code

Definition at line 160 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ setErrorDescription()

void KAuth::ActionReply::setErrorDescription ( const QString & error)

Sets a human-readble description of the error.

Call this method from the helper if you want to send back a description for a custom error. Note that this method doesn't affect the errorCode in any way

Parameters
errorThe new error description

Definition at line 183 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ setType()

void KAuth::ActionReply::setType ( ActionReply::Type type)

Sets the reply type.

Every time you create an action reply, you implicitly set a type. Default constructed replies or ActionReply::SuccessReply have type() == Success. ActionReply::HelperErrorReply has type() == HelperError. Predefined error replies have type() == KAuthError.

This means you rarely need to change the type after the creation, but if you need to, don't set it to KAuthError, because it's reserved for errors coming from the library.

Parameters
typeThe new reply type

Definition at line 140 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ succeeded()

bool KAuth::ActionReply::succeeded ( ) const

Returns true if type() == Success.

Definition at line 145 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ SuccessReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::SuccessReply ( )
static

An empty successful reply. Same as using the default constructor.

Definition at line 40 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ type()

ActionReply::Type KAuth::ActionReply::type ( ) const

Returns the reply's type.

Definition at line 135 of file actionreply.cpp.

◆ UserCancelledReply()

const ActionReply KAuth::ActionReply::UserCancelledReply ( )
static

errorCode() == UserCancelled

Definition at line 72 of file actionreply.cpp.
