This. There are errors and states you cannot predict. As a grandchild comment says: It's easier to provide solutions than to list all the errors. Find your happy path and write code that steers you back on to it. The code will be shorter, less surprising, and actually describable. It's also testable because you treat whole classes of errors consistently so your error combinations count is smaller.
