[Bitbucket on-prem] Errors processing

Hello,

I just recently started to use this framework and quickly found you myself writing a lot of “safety belts” with try/except. For example, if I want to check whether the Bitbucket repo exist, I would use bitbucket.get_repo(project_key, repo_slug) but it must be wrapped into try/except because if repo doesn’t exist I won’t receive None or something similar; instead, framework will fail with an exception and in order to process it properly I am parsing Exception’s with something like e.response.content.decode("utf8")["errors"] in a try to find out what exactly happened.

I’m wondering what was the driving decision for this approach or maybe I am missing something such as proper errors processing, etc.

@AjaxOdessa Following code should be enough:

        exists = False
        try:
            bitbucket.get_repo(project_key, repository_slug)
            exists = True
        except HTTPError as e:
            # 404: The specified repository does not exist.
            if e.response.status_code == 404:
                pass
            # 401: The currently authenticated user has insufficient permissions to see the specified repository.. Rethrow???

        return False

Yeah, I got it by

401: The currently authenticated user…

Thank you!
