io.reactivex.exceptions.UndeliverableException The exception could not be delivered to the consumer because it has already canceled/disposed

Question

Getting an UndeliverableException while using completable

public Completable createBucketWithStorageClassAndLocation() {
        return Completable.complete()
                .doFinally(() -> {
            Bucket bucket =
                    storage.create(
                            BucketInfo.newBuilder(googleUploadObjectConfiguration.bucketName())
                                    .setStorageClass(storageClass)
                                    .setLocation(googleUploadObjectConfiguration.locationName())
                                    .build());       
        }).doOnError(error -> LOG.error(error.getMessage()));
    }

The exception is thrown from the Google storage which is correct, But trying to handle on doOnError method

Caused by: com.google.cloud.storage.StorageException: You already own this bucket. Please select another name.

From the rxjava documentation https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/wiki/What's-different-in-2.0#error-handling I need to handle the error in the application.

I need to write the below code,

/ If Java 8 lambdas are supported
RxJavaPlugins.setErrorHandler(e -> { });

My question is where should I write this code. I have a Micronaut application using java or this is the only way to handle the exception.

Answer 1

You should add this in you application class

RxJavaPlugins.setErrorHandler(e -> { });

RxJavaPlugins.setErrorHandler { e ->
if (e is UndeliverableException) {
    // Merely log undeliverable exceptions
    log.error(e.message)
} else {
    // Forward all others to current thread's uncaught exception handler
    Thread.currentThread().also { thread ->
        thread.uncaughtExceptionHandler.uncaughtException(thread, e)
    }
}
