FEAT: More Informative Attack Exceptions

[rlundeen2]

This has something that has bugged me for a while, but I hadn't thought of a good solution for it. I think the solution here is decent, and it definitely improves usability. And I don't want perfect to get in the way of good...

Old way

The exceptions take some digging and often don't help.

e.g. here is a retry for a target. Which target? You'll never know...

Retry attempt 1 for send_prompt_async failed with exception: Status Code: 429, Message: Rate Limit Exception. Elapsed time: 39.4296430000104 seconds. Total calls: 1

Now, here is an error in objective_target, not that you would know that either....

RuntimeError: Strategy execution failed for PromptSendingAttack: Error sending prompt with conversation ID: ee4d1a28-5410-483f-8e5c-320179604032

New way

It still takes wrapping critical pieces in a handler, but I think it's already quite good. And will improve as we update identifiers to be better.

Here is a new error in objective_scorer:

RuntimeError: Strategy execution failed for objective_scorer in PromptSendingAttack: Error in scorer TrueFalseInverterScorer: Error in scorer SelfAskRefusalScorer: Error scoring prompt with original prompt ID: feb68659-b46d-4e08-871e-00a116134391

Here is an error in a converter

RuntimeError: Strategy execution failed for converter in PromptSendingAttack: RetryError[<Future at 0x245c3f4fe30 state=finished raised APIConnectionError>]

Root cause: ConnectError: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

converter identifier: {'__type__': 'TranslationConverter', '__module__': 'pyrit.prompt_converter.translation_converter'}

Similar errors are available for both adversarial and objective chats. Here are new retry messages which now contain the component

Retry attempt 1 for objective scorer. TrueFalseScorer::_score_value_with_llm failed with exception: Status Code: 500, Message: Invalid JSON response, missing Key: {

minor comments!

[hannahwestra25]

nice change! my only concern is that it's easy to forget to add the with_execution_context when adding new attacks that don't inherit from prompt_sending or multi_prompt_sending but i'm also unsure how frequently we will be adding those
