# Objective
- Contributes to #15460
- Supersedes #8520
- Fixes#4906
## Solution
- Added a new `web` feature to `bevy`, and several of its crates.
- Enabled new `web` feature automatically within crates without `no_std`
support.
## Testing
- `cargo build --no-default-features --target wasm32v1-none`
---
## Migration Guide
When using Bevy crates which _don't_ automatically enable the `web`
feature, please enable it when building for the browser.
## Notes
- I added [`cfg_if`](https://crates.io/crates/cfg-if) to help manage
some of the feature gate gore that this extra feature introduces. It's
still pretty ugly, but I think much easier to read.
- Certain `wasm` targets (e.g.,
[wasm32-wasip1](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/wasm32-wasip1.html#wasm32-wasip1))
provide an incomplete implementation for `std`. I have not tested these
platforms, but I suspect Bevy's liberal use of usually unsupported
features (e.g., threading) will cause these targets to fail. As such,
consider `wasm32-unknown-unknown` as the only `wasm` platform with
support from Bevy for `std`. All others likely will need to be treated
as `no_std` platforms.
## Objective
Fixes#18092
Bevy's current error type is a simple type alias for `Box<dyn Error +
Send + Sync + 'static>`. This largely works as a catch-all error, but it
is missing a critical feature: the ability to capture a backtrace at the
point that the error occurs. The best way to do this is `anyhow`-style
error handling: a new error type that takes advantage of the fact that
the `?` `From` conversion happens "inline" to capture the backtrace at
the point of the error.
## Solution
This PR adds a new `BevyError` type (replacing our old
`std::error::Error` type alias), which uses the "from conversion
backtrace capture" approach:
```rust
fn oh_no() -> Result<(), BevyError> {
// this fails with Rust's built in ParseIntError, which
// is converted into the catch-all BevyError type
let number: usize = "hi".parse()?;
println!("parsed {number}");
Ok(())
}
```
This also updates our exported `Result` type alias to default to
`BevyError`, meaning you can write this instead:
```rust
fn oh_no() -> Result {
let number: usize = "hi".parse()?;
println!("parsed {number}");
Ok(())
}
```
When a BevyError is encountered in a system, it will use Bevy's default
system error handler (which panics by default). BevyError does custom
"backtrace filtering" by default, meaning we can cut out the _massive_
amount of "rust internals", "async executor internals", and "bevy system
scheduler internals" that show up in backtraces. It also trims out the
first generally-unnecssary `From` conversion backtrace lines that make
it harder to locate the real error location. The result is a blissfully
simple backtrace by default:
The full backtrace can be shown by setting the `BEVY_BACKTRACE=full`
environment variable. Non-BevyError panics still use the default Rust
backtrace behavior.
One issue that prevented the truly noise-free backtrace during panics
that you see above is that Rust's default panic handler will print the
unfiltered (and largely unhelpful real-panic-point) backtrace by
default, in _addition_ to our filtered BevyError backtrace (with the
helpful backtrace origin) that we capture and print. To resolve this, I
have extended Bevy's existing PanicHandlerPlugin to wrap the default
panic handler. If we panic from the result of a BevyError, we will skip
the default "print full backtrace" panic handler. This behavior can be
enabled and disabled using the new `error_panic_hook` cargo feature in
`bevy_app` (which is enabled by default).
One downside to _not_ using `Box<dyn Error>` directly is that we can no
longer take advantage of the built-in `Into` impl for strings to errors.
To resolve this, I have added the following:
```rust
// Before
Err("some error")?
// After
Err(BevyError::message("some error"))?
```
We can discuss adding shorthand methods or macros for this (similar to
anyhow's `anyhow!("some error")` macro), but I'd prefer to discuss that
later.
I have also added the following extension method:
```rust
// Before
some_option.ok_or("some error")?;
// After
some_option.ok_or_message("some error")?;
```
I've also moved all of our existing error infrastructure from
`bevy_ecs::result` to `bevy_ecs::error`, as I think that is the better
home for it
## Why not anyhow (or eyre)?
The biggest reason is that `anyhow` needs to be a "generically useful
error type", whereas Bevy is a much narrower scope. By using our own
error, we can be significantly more opinionated. For example, anyhow
doesn't do the extensive (and invasive) backtrace filtering that
BevyError does because it can't operate on Bevy-specific context, and
needs to be generically useful.
Bevy also has a lot of operational context (ex: system info) that could
be useful to attach to errors. If we have control over the error type,
we can add whatever context we want to in a structured way. This could
be increasingly useful as we add more visual / interactive error
handling tools and editor integrations.
Additionally, the core approach used is simple and requires almost no
code. anyhow clocks in at ~2500 lines of code, but the impl here uses
160. We are able to boil this down to exactly what we need, and by doing
so we improve our compile times and the understandability of our code.

## Summary of Changes
### Documentation Indentation
When using lists in documentation, proper indentation is now linted for.
This means subsequent lines within the same list item must start at the
same indentation level as the item.
```rust
/* Valid */
/// - Item 1
/// Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
/* Invalid */
/// - Item 1
/// Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
```
### Implicit `!` to `()` Conversion
`!` (the never return type, returned by `panic!`, etc.) no longer
implicitly converts to `()`. This is particularly painful for systems
with `todo!` or `panic!` statements, as they will no longer be functions
returning `()` (or `Result<()>`), making them invalid systems for
functions like `add_systems`. The ideal fix would be to accept functions
returning `!` (or rather, _not_ returning), but this is blocked on the
[stabilisation of the `!` type
itself](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.never.html), which is
not done.
The "simple" fix would be to add an explicit `-> ()` to system
signatures (e.g., `|| { todo!() }` becomes `|| -> () { todo!() }`).
However, this is _also_ banned, as there is an existing lint which (IMO,
incorrectly) marks this as an unnecessary annotation.
So, the "fix" (read: workaround) is to put these kinds of `|| -> ! { ...
}` closuers into variables and give the variable an explicit type (e.g.,
`fn()`).
```rust
// Valid
let system: fn() = || todo!("Not implemented yet!");
app.add_systems(..., system);
// Invalid
app.add_systems(..., || todo!("Not implemented yet!"));
```
### Temporary Variable Lifetimes
The order in which temporary variables are dropped has changed. The
simple fix here is _usually_ to just assign temporaries to a named
variable before use.
### `gen` is a keyword
We can no longer use the name `gen` as it is reserved for a future
generator syntax. This involved replacing uses of the name `gen` with
`r#gen` (the raw-identifier syntax).
### Formatting has changed
Use statements have had the order of imports changed, causing a
substantial +/-3,000 diff when applied. For now, I have opted-out of
this change by amending `rustfmt.toml`
```toml
style_edition = "2021"
```
This preserves the original formatting for now, reducing the size of
this PR. It would be a simple followup to update this to 2024 and run
`cargo fmt`.
### New `use<>` Opt-Out Syntax
Lifetimes are now implicitly included in RPIT types. There was a handful
of instances where it needed to be added to satisfy the borrow checker,
but there may be more cases where it _should_ be added to avoid
breakages in user code.
### `MyUnitStruct { .. }` is an invalid pattern
Previously, you could match against unit structs (and unit enum
variants) with a `{ .. }` destructuring. This is no longer valid.
### Pretty much every use of `ref` and `mut` are gone
Pattern binding has changed to the point where these terms are largely
unused now. They still serve a purpose, but it is far more niche now.
### `iter::repeat(...).take(...)` is bad
New lint recommends using the more explicit `iter::repeat_n(..., ...)`
instead.
## Migration Guide
The lifetimes of functions using return-position impl-trait (RPIT) are
likely _more_ conservative than they had been previously. If you
encounter lifetime issues with such a function, please create an issue
to investigate the addition of `+ use<...>`.

_actually_ changed.

# Objective
- Move `PanicHandlerPlugin` into `bevy_app`
- Fixes#12603 .
## Solution
- I moved the `bevy_panic_handler` into `bevy_app`
- Copy pasted `bevy_panic_handler`'s lib.rs into a separate module in
`bevy_app` as a `panic_handler.rs` module file and added the
`PanicHandlerPlugin` in lib.rs of `bevy_app`
- added the dependency into `cargo.toml`
## Review notes
- I probably want some feedback if I imported App and Plugin correctly
in `panic_handler.rs` line 10 and 11.
- As of yet I have not deleted `bevy_panic_handler` crate, wanted to get
a check if I added it correctly.
- Once validated that my move was correct, I'll probably have to remove
the panic handler find default plugins which I probably need some help
to find.
- And then remove bevy panic_handler and making sure ci passes.
- This is my first issue for contributing to bevy so let me know if I am
doing anything wrong.
## tools context
- rust is 1.76 version
- Windows 11
