## Class ErrorCollector

- java.lang.Object
- - org.codehaus.groovy.control.ErrorCollector

    public class ErrorCollector
    extends java.lang.Object

A base class for collecting messages and errors during processing. Each CompilationUnit should have an ErrorCollector, and the SourceUnits should share their ErrorCollector with the CompilationUnit.

### Field Summary

Fields
`protected CompilerConfiguration` `configuration` Configuration and other settings that control processing
`protected java.util.LinkedList` `errors` ErrorMessages collected during processing
`protected java.util.LinkedList` `warnings` WarningMessages collected during processing

### Constructor Summary

Constructors
Constructor and Description
`ErrorCollector(CompilerConfiguration configuration)` Initialize the ErrorReporter.

### Method Summary

Methods
`void` `addCollectorContents(ErrorCollector er)`
`void` `addError(Message message)` Adds a non-fatal error to the message set, which may cause a failure if the error threshold is exceeded.

`void` `addError(java.lang.String text, CSTNode context, SourceUnit source)` Convenience wrapper for addError().
`void` `addError(SyntaxException error, SourceUnit source)` Convenience wrapper for addError().
`void` `addErrorAndContinue(Message message)` Adds an error to the message set, but does not cause a failure.
`void` `addException(java.lang.Exception cause, SourceUnit source)`
`void` `addFatalError(Message message)` Adds a fatal exception to the message set and throws the unit as a PhaseFailedException.
`void` `addWarning(int importance, java.lang.String text, CSTNode context, SourceUnit source)` Convenience wrapper for addWarning() that won't create an object unless it is relevant.
`void` `addWarning(int importance, java.lang.String text, java.lang.Object data, CSTNode context, SourceUnit source)` Convenience wrapper for addWarning() that won't create an object unless it is relevant.
`void` `addWarning(WarningMessage message)` Adds a WarningMessage to the message set.
`protected void` `failIfErrors()` Causes the current phase to fail by throwing a CompilationFailedException.
`CompilerConfiguration` `getConfiguration()`
`Message` `getError(int index)` Returns the specified error message, or null.
`int` `getErrorCount()` Returns the number of errors.
`java.util.List` `getErrors()` Returns the list of errors, or null if there are none.
`java.lang.Exception` `getException(int index)` Convenience routine to return the specified error's underlying Exception, or null if it isn't one.
`Message` `getLastError()` Returns the last error reported
`SyntaxException` `getSyntaxError(int index)` Convenience routine to return the specified error's underlying SyntaxException, or null if it isn't one.
`WarningMessage` `getWarning(int index)` Returns the specified warning message, or null.
`int` `getWarningCount()` Returns the number of warnings.
`java.util.List` `getWarnings()` Returns the list of warnings, or null if there are none.

### Field Detail

#### warnings

    protected java.util.LinkedList warnings

WarningMessages collected during processing

#### errors

    protected java.util.LinkedList errors

ErrorMessages collected during processing

#### configuration

    protected CompilerConfiguration configuration

Configuration and other settings that control processing

### Constructor Detail

#### ErrorCollector

    public ErrorCollector(CompilerConfiguration configuration)

Initialize the ErrorReporter.

### Method Detail

#### addCollectorContents

    public void addCollectorContents(ErrorCollector er)

#### addErrorAndContinue

    public void addErrorAndContinue(Message message)

Adds an error to the message set, but does not cause a failure. The message is not required to have a source line and column specified, but it is best practice to try and include that information.

#### addError

    public void addError(Message message)
                  throws CompilationFailedException

Adds a non-fatal error to the message set, which may cause a failure if the error threshold is exceeded. The message is not required to have a source line and column specified, but it is best practice to try and include that information.

Throws:
  `CompilationFailedException`

#### addError

    public void addError(Message message,
                boolean fatal)
                  throws CompilationFailedException

Adds an optionally-fatal error to the message set. The message is not required to have a source line and column specified, but it is best practice to try and include that information.

Parameters:
  `fatal` - if true then then processing will stop
Throws:
  `CompilationFailedException`

#### addError

    public void addError(SyntaxException error,
                SourceUnit source)
                  throws CompilationFailedException

Convenience wrapper for addError().

Throws:
  `CompilationFailedException`

#### addError

    public void addError(java.lang.String text,
                CSTNode context,
                SourceUnit source)
                  throws CompilationFailedException

Convenience wrapper for addError().

Throws:
  `CompilationFailedException`

#### addFatalError

    public void addFatalError(Message message)
                       throws CompilationFailedException

Adds a fatal exception to the message set and throws the unit as a PhaseFailedException.

Throws:
  `CompilationFailedException`

#### addException

    public void addException(java.lang.Exception cause,
