Hey! First time contributor.

I was using this library to interact with a some example code within the documentation at (https://docs.falkordb.com/getting-started.html). Noting that Go is not one of the languages listed in these examples. I found that I was able to create panics while reading from values.

I intended to add memory save access to the Record access, and have added an ErrNoValue to errors.go and testing for the record.go file.

Walkthrough

The changes introduce explicit error handling and type safety in record value retrieval throughout the codebase. The GetByIndex method now returns an error, and all usages are updated to check for errors before type assertions. New error definitions and unit tests are added, and some example and method names are clarified.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
Record Error Handling Implementation
record.go, error.go
Introduced explicit error returns for Record.GetByIndex, returning an error if the receiver is nil or index is out of range. Added a new error constant ErrRecordNoValue in a dedicated file. Adjusted Keys() and Values() for nil-safety.
Test Updates and Additions
client_test.go, record_test.go
Updated all usages of GetByIndex in tests to handle errors and type assertions explicitly. Added new unit tests for GetByIndex covering nil receiver and valid index cases, using testify/assert.
Example and Naming Updates
example_graph_test.go, examples/falkordb_tls_client/falkordb_tls_client.go
Renamed example functions for clarity and updated value retrieval to handle interface and error explicitly, adding error handling in client example.
Graph Schema Error Handling
graph_schema.go
Modified schema refresh methods to check for errors when retrieving values from records, propagating errors instead of panicking or silently failing.

Poem

In fields of code where records grow,
Now errors bloom where nil winds blow.
Rabbits hop with cautious cheer,
Checking types and errors clear.
With every test and schema call,
Robustness rises, bugs grow small—
A safer warren for us all! 🐇✨

83-87: Excellent improvement in error handling!

The addition of explicit error checking for GetByIndex(0) aligns perfectly with the PR objective of preventing panics and providing safer memory access. The implementation correctly captures both the interface and error, checks for errors before proceeding, and only performs the type assertion when it's safe to do so.

🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
record.go (1)

45-55: Excellent error handling implementation with minor consistency suggestion.

The new error-aware signature significantly improves safety by preventing panics. The implementation correctly handles both nil receivers and out-of-bounds access.

Consider making error handling consistent - either wrap both errors or use direct errors for both cases:

 func (r *Record) GetByIndex(index int) (interface{}, error) {
 	if r == nil {
-		return nil, fmt.Errorf("record is nil: %w", ErrRecordNoValue)
+		return nil, ErrRecordNoValue
 	}
 
 	if index >= len(r.values) {
 		return nil, ErrRecordNoValue
 	}
graph_schema.go (3)

38-44: Good error handling, but consider safer type assertions.

The error handling for GetByIndex is correctly implemented. However, the type assertion label.(string) could still panic if the interface{} doesn't contain a string.

Consider using safer type assertions:

 	label, err := r.GetByIndex(0)
 	if err != nil {
 		return err
 	}
-	gs.labels[idx] = label.(string)
+	labelStr, ok := label.(string)
+	if !ok {
+		return fmt.Errorf("expected string, got %T", label)
+	}
+	gs.labels[idx] = labelStr

57-62: Same type assertion safety concern applies here.

Good error handling for GetByIndex, but consider safer type assertions as mentioned in the previous comment.


75-80: Same type assertion safety concern applies here.

Good error handling for GetByIndex, but consider safer type assertions as mentioned in the previous comments.

record_test.go (1)

10-16: Good test for nil receiver, but improve the assertion.

The nil receiver test is important and correctly uses errors.Is(). However, the assertion pattern could be simplified:

 func TestRecord_GetByIndex_WhenNil(t *testing.T) {
 	var record *Record
 	_, err := record.GetByIndex(-1)
-	if !errors.Is(err, ErrRecordNoValue) {
-		assert.FailNow(t, err.Error())
-	}
+	assert.ErrorIs(t, err, ErrRecordNoValue)
 }
client_test.go (1)

332-334: Missing safe type assertion in TestPoint.

The error handling is good, but the type assertion on line 334 should be safe to maintain consistency with the rest of the codebase.

-	point := pointIface.(map[string]interface{})
+	point, ok := pointIface.(map[string]interface{})
+	assert.True(t, ok, "Expected point to be a map[string]interface{}")

🔇 Additional comments (6)
error.go (1)

5-7: LGTM! Clean error definition following Go conventions.

The error variable follows standard Go naming patterns and uses the appropriate errors.New() function.

record.go (1)

20-23: LGTM! Good defensive programming with nil safety.

Adding nil checks to Keys() and Values() methods prevents potential panics.

client_test.go (4)

4-4: Good addition of fmt import for error handling.

The addition of the fmt package supports proper error formatting in the updated error handling code.


184-196: Excellent comprehensive error handling pattern.

This section demonstrates the ideal error handling pattern for the updated GetByIndex method:

  • Explicit error checking with descriptive messages
  • Safe type assertion with boolean check
  • Proper error reporting with context

This pattern should be the standard approach throughout the codebase.


348-351: Excellent error handling and type safety.

This section demonstrates the complete pattern: error checking, safe type assertion with boolean validation. This is the gold standard for the updated codebase.


66-525: Overall excellent adaptation to the new error-handling GetByIndex method.

The test file has been successfully updated to handle the new GetByIndex method signature that returns (interface{}, error). The changes demonstrate:

✅ Consistent error checking patterns
✅ Safe type assertions with boolean checks
✅ Descriptive error messages
✅ Alignment with PR objectives to prevent panics

The few minor inconsistencies noted in other comments should be addressed for complete consistency across the test suite.
