AxContentProcessingError

Defined in: https://github.com/ax-llm/ax/blob/5b28f9093bb70863b59459bb6df5062d005bce41/src/ax/util/apicall.ts#L456

Error thrown when content processing/transformation fails.

This error wraps underlying failures from content processing services like image-to-text, audio transcription, file text extraction, or URL content fetching. It provides context about what type of content was being processed and at which step.

Example

TypeScript
try {
  await axProcessContentForProvider(content, provider, {
    imageToText: imageService.analyze
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof AxContentProcessingError) {
    console.log(`Failed processing ${error.contentType} during ${error.processingStep}`);
    console.log('Original error:', error.originalError.message);
  }
}

Constructors

Constructor

TypeScript
new AxContentProcessingError(
   originalError: Error, 
   contentType: string, 
   processingStep: string): AxContentProcessingError;

Defined in: https://github.com/ax-llm/ax/blob/5b28f9093bb70863b59459bb6df5062d005bce41/src/ax/util/apicall.ts#L469

Creates a new content processing error.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
originalErrorErrorThe underlying error that caused the processing failure
contentTypestringThe type of content being processed (e.g., ‘image’, ‘audio’, ‘file’)
processingStepstringThe specific processing step that failed (e.g., ‘vision analysis’, ’transcription’)

Returns

AxContentProcessingError

stackTraceLimitstaticnumberThe Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)). The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed. If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.Error.stackTraceLimit

Methods

toString()

TypeScript
toString(): string;

Defined in: https://github.com/ax-llm/ax/blob/5b28f9093bb70863b59459bb6df5062d005bce41/src/ax/util/apicall.ts#L482

Returns a string representation of an object.

Returns

string


captureStackTrace()

TypeScript
static captureStackTrace(targetObject: object, constructorOpt?: Function): void;

Defined in: node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:145

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

JavaScript
const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

JavaScript
function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}
