如何访问错误的非本地化描述？

Question

It seems that the Error type in Swift provides only one property, localizedDescription . My app will be running on machines set to other languages than English. I would like to write error reports (for my perusal, not the user's) in English: I need the non-localized description of the error. How can I get it?

Answer 1

What I did to solve this issue is create a string using the error's domain and code. Something like:

extension Error {
    var logString: String {
        return (self as NSError).code + ":" + (self as NSError).domain
    }
}
