Verified that the enhanced permission error handling from PR #516 works correctly across all wassette example components.

Testing Coverage

Built and tested 11 example components:

  • Network permissions: fetch-rs, brave-search-rs, arxiv-rs, context7-rs
  • Storage permissions: filesystem-rs
  • JavaScript examples: get-weather-js, get-open-meteo-weather-js, time-server-js, memory-js
  • Python/Go examples: eval-py, gomodule-go

Integration test results:

  • 25/27 tests passed
  • 2 failures due to TLS connectivity (unrelated to permission handling)
  • All permission enforcement, granting, and revoking operations work correctly

Error Handling Behavior

When WASM execution fails due to permission denial, users now see:

Network permission denied: Component 'fetch_rs' attempted to access 
'https://example.com' but does not have permission for host 'example.com'.

To grant network access, use:
  grant-network-permission --component-id="fetch_rs" --host="example.com"

Components that handle errors gracefully (returning Result<String, String>) receive HttpRequestDenied error codes, which is expected behavior as the WASM call succeeds but returns an error result.

Findings

The enhanced error handling correctly:

  • Enforces network and storage permissions across all examples
  • Detects permission violations and records them for user-friendly error reporting
  • Provides actionable error messages with fix instructions when WASM traps
  • Supports dynamic permission management via MCP tools
