Error Types

Krayne defines a flat exception hierarchy rooted at KrayneError. All exceptions are importable from krayne.errors.

from krayne.errors import (
    KrayneError,
    ClusterNotFoundError,
    ClusterAlreadyExistsError,
    ConfigValidationError,
    ClusterTimeoutError,
    KubeConnectionError,
    NamespaceNotFoundError,
)

Exceptions

KrayneError

Base exception for all Krayne errors. Catch this to handle any Krayne-specific error.

from krayne.errors import KrayneError

try:
    info = create_cluster(config)
except KrayneError as e:
    print(f"Krayne error: {e}")

---

ClusterNotFoundError

Raised when an operation targets a cluster that does not exist.

Attributes:

Attribute	Type	Description
name	str	Cluster name
namespace	str	Kubernetes namespace

Raised by: get_cluster, describe_cluster, scale_cluster, delete_cluster, wait_until_ready

from krayne.errors import ClusterNotFoundError

try:
    info = get_cluster("nonexistent")
except ClusterNotFoundError as e:
    print(f"Cluster '{e.name}' not found in '{e.namespace}'")

---

ClusterAlreadyExistsError

Raised when creating a cluster with a name that's already in use in the target namespace.

Attributes:

Attribute	Type	Description
name	str	Cluster name
namespace	str	Kubernetes namespace

Raised by: create_cluster

---

ConfigValidationError

Raised when cluster configuration is invalid — wraps Pydantic ValidationError with a clear message.

Raised by: load_config_from_yaml, ClusterConfig construction

from krayne.errors import ConfigValidationError

try:
    config = load_config_from_yaml("bad-config.yaml")
except ConfigValidationError as e:
    print(f"Invalid config: {e}")

---

ClusterTimeoutError

Raised when wait_until_ready exceeds the specified timeout.

Attributes:

Attribute	Type	Description
name	str	Cluster name
namespace	str	Kubernetes namespace
timeout	int	Timeout that was exceeded (seconds)

Raised by: create_cluster (with wait=True), wait_until_ready

---

KubeConnectionError

Raised when the Kubernetes API is unreachable — no valid kubeconfig, network issues, or API server errors.

Raised by: Any SDK function that communicates with Kubernetes.

---

NamespaceNotFoundError

Raised when the specified Kubernetes namespace does not exist.

Attributes:

Attribute	Type	Description
namespace	str	The namespace that was not found

Raised by: create_cluster

---

SandboxError

Base exception for sandbox-related errors.

---

DockerNotFoundError

Raised when Docker CLI is not available or the Docker daemon is not running.

Raised by: setup_sandbox

---

SandboxAlreadyExistsError

Raised when a sandbox container already exists.

Raised by: setup_sandbox

---

SandboxNotFoundError

Raised when attempting to tear down a sandbox that doesn't exist.

Raised by: teardown_sandbox
