Recommended error handling pattern for secret contracts?

Developer Help
1

Hi. I am writing some smart contract code in Rust, but I have a question about error handling. The usual pattern for error handling in Rust uses Result and Error. But I see in secret contract code their use produces the error

the trait `eng_wasm::eng_pwasm_abi::eth::AbiType` is not implemented for `core::result::Result<(), Error>`

So how should potential errors and known failure conditions be handled in Enigma secret contracts?

Thx.

You can panic, as per the Calculator example

This is also how Salad does it.

Or do you have any other sorts of conditions in mind?

Ok, I will use that pattern for now. It feels a little dramatic for expected errors, but if that is the recommendation I can go with it.
