Function parseBoolResponse

github/github.go:1794–1807

parseBoolResponse determines the boolean result from a GitHub API response. Several GitHub API methods return boolean responses indicated by the HTTP status code in the response (true indicated by a 204, false indicated by a 404). This helper function will determine that result and hide the 404 erro

(err error)

// 404). This helper function will determine that result and hide the 404
// error if present. Any other error will be returned through as-is.
func parseBoolResponse(err error) (bool, error) {
	if err == nil {
		return true, nil
	}

	var rerr *ErrorResponse
	if errors.As(err, &rerr) && rerr.Response.StatusCode == http.StatusNotFound {
		// Simply false. In this one case, we do not pass the error through.
		return false, nil
	}

	// some other real error occurred
	return false, err
}

// RateLimitCategory represents the enumeration of rate limit categories.
