View Source Credo.Check.Consistency.ExceptionNames (Credo v1.6.7)

This check has a base priority of high and works with any version of Elixir.

Explanation

Exception names should end with a common suffix like "Error".

Try to name your exception modules consistently:

defmodule BadCodeError do
  defexception [:message]
end

defmodule ParserError do
  defexception [:message]
end

Inconsistent use should be avoided:

defmodule BadHTTPResponse do
  defexception [:message]
end

defmodule HTTPHeaderException do
  defexception [:message]
end

While this is not necessarily a concern for the correctness of your code, you should use a consistent style throughout your codebase.

There are no specific parameters for this check.

Like with all checks, general params can be applied.

Parameters can be configured via the .credo.exs config file.
