[bottlepy] Returning json in error handlers.

[Martin Frlin]

I want to return simple json responses from error handlers, so my code is
somehting like this:

@app.error(401)
@app.error(404)
def error_handler(error):
return {'msg': error.body}

But this does not work as it returns nothing at all.

auto json feature does not work in error handlers?

Oh, and if anyone could explain why documentation says I need to import
error from bottle and then use it like @error(404)? error is an instance
method on Bottle class so I don't know how would it get "self" imported and
used like in documentation.

I've noticed this too, but haven't figured out why it works this way. Here
is what i have in my code

@appv1.error(500)
def error_json_generic(error):
bottle.response.content_type = 'application/json'
return '{"error_message": "%s"}' % error.body
