Branch: refs/heads/master Home: https://github.com/tribe29/checkmk Commit: 7437f940eb5b0f458f63a0aae48739fb0acc3ad3 https://github.com/tribe29/checkmk/commit/7437f940eb5b0f458f63a0aae48739fb0… Author: Mathias Laurin <mathias.laurin(a)tribe29.com> Date: 2020-09-23 (Wed, 23 Sep 2020) Changed paths: M cmk/fetchers/controller.py M cmk/utils/exceptions.py M tests/unit/cmk/fetchers/test_controller.py Log Message: ----------- Serialize exceptions with pickle We were using `repr()`/`eval()` but this naive scheme does not let us transport our special exceptions (defined in `cmk.utils.exceptions`). Exceptions that are nested in a different module would not be deserialized properly either. We replace `repr()`/`eval()` with `pickle`, which is the prefered serialization method in Python and does not have the same drawbacks. This further has the advantage of preserving the traceback.
