How to access non-localized description of Error?

Question

It seems that the Error type in Swift provides only one property, localizedDescription. My app will be running on machines set to other languages than English. I would like to write error reports (for my perusal, not the user’s) in English: I need the non-localized description of the error. How can I get it?

Laval

cast this error to CustomStringConvertible or CustomDebugStringConvertible – Char

Answer 1

What I did to solve this issue is create a string using the error's domain and code. Something like:

extension Error {
    var logString: String {
        return (self as NSError).code + ":" + (self as NSError).domain
    }
}
