Summary
In a couple of places
QiskitError
was directly raised. Normally the algorithms raise anAlgorithmError
so given algorithms has been moved out of Qiskit, to better distinguish the exception to algorithms, and to make it consistent with elsewhere I changed the couple of places to raise AlgorithmError instead.Resolves #30
Details and comments
As AlgorithmError extends QiskitError its unlikely that this has any impact on anyone. I added a release note in case. Indeed the
test_pvqd
unit test, that checked an error condition continued to work unchanged - though I did change it to AlgorithmError as that is really what should be expected now.Of course I ran tests, and built html locally and it was all good.... such a small change.... I did not run lint!
