Fix JSON output when crashing, and fix help and version information.
Review Request #12163 — Created March 17, 2022 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
When using
--json
, if the command raises an unexpected exception, we
end up showing an empty "success" payload. This is clearly not what we
want. This change insteads records an "Internal Error" with the
exception's error message, allowing tools to know that something went
wrong.The help string for
--json
has also been updated to include a trailing
period, matching other help strings. It also now includes anadded_in
version for the documentation, and theVersion Added
forJSONOutput
now correctly shows 3.0.
Tested
--json
with an exception raised, and saw the exception details.Saw the corrected help text.
