fn main() {

    // Fallible systems can be used the same way as regular systems. The only difference is they
    // return a `Result<(), Box<dyn Error>>` instead of a `()` (unit) type. Bevy will handle both
    // types of systems the same way, except for the error handling.
    app.add_systems(Startup, (setup, failing_system));

    // By default, fallible systems that return an error will panic.
    //
    // We can change this by setting a custom error handler. This can be done globally for all
    // systems in a given `App`. Here we set the global error handler using one of the built-in
    // error handlers. Bevy provides built-in handlers for `panic`, `error`, `warn`, `info`,
    // `debug`, `trace` and `ignore`.
    app.set_system_error_handler(bevy::ecs::result::warn);

    // Additionally, you can set a custom error handler per `Schedule`. This will take precedence
    // over the global error handler.
    //
    // In this instance we provide our own non-capturing closure that coerces to the expected error
    // handler function pointer:
    //
    //     fn(bevy_ecs::result::Error, bevy_ecs::result::SystemErrorContext)

    // Individual systems can also be handled by piping the output result:

        PostStartup,

    //
    //  WARN Encountered an error in system `fallible_systems::failing_system`: "Resource not initialized"
    // ERROR fallible_systems::failing_system failed: Resource not initialized
    //  INFO captured error: Resource not initialized
