🧹 Narrow except Exception to ImportError for yaml import in CLI utils#664madara88645 wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
This change replaces a broad `except Exception:` block with `except ImportError:` when trying to import the optional `yaml` module in `cli/utils.py`. This improves code health by following Python best practices and ensuring that unexpected errors (such as syntax errors or memory errors within the yaml module itself) are not silently swallowed, while preserving the intended fallback to JSON if the module is simply not installed.

🎯 What: Narrowed the overly broad
except Exception:clause toexcept ImportError:when handling the optionalyamlimport incli/utils.py.💡 Why: Catching a broad
Exceptionis an anti-pattern, especially around imports. It can silently swallow unexpected errors (like syntax errors, out-of-memory errors, or keyboard interrupts) that should be surfaced. Narrowing it toImportErrorexplicitly targets the expected failure condition (the package not being installed), improving maintainability and debuggability.✅ Verification: Verified the change by manually reading the file after applying the patch and successfully running the full backend test suite (
python -m pytest tests/), ensuring no existing CLI or compilation functionality was broken.✨ Result: A safer, more targeted exception handling block that improves code readability and prevents masking of unrelated errors during runtime.
