Summary

For Slack channel_not_found, SlackWebMessagingIntegration._handle_send_err now raises a dedicated MessagingIntegrationDestinationNotFoundError(channel_name). Previously it raised a plain MessagingIntegrationError.

The new exception subclasses MessagingIntegrationError, keeps the same message and exposes channel_name. Existing except MessagingIntegrationError handlers behave as before.

Why: elementary-internal wants to treat a missing alert channel as a customer configuration issue instead of failing the alert flow (APP-1834). A dedicated type lets it catch this case directly instead of matching on the message string.

Tests: new unit tests in tests/unit/messages/messaging_integrations/test_slack_web.py. They check that channel_not_found raises the new error with channel_name set, and that other Slack errors still raise the generic MessagingIntegrationError.

📝 Walkthrough

Slack channel-not-found errors now raise a dedicated exception that stores the channel name. Tests verify this behavior and confirm that other Slack errors still raise the generic messaging integration exception.

Changes: Slack error handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define the channel-not-found exception elementary/messages/messaging_integrations/exceptions.py	Adds an exception that stores the missing channel name and includes an instruction to add the app to that channel.
Classify Slack send errors and test the behavior elementary/messages/messaging_integrations/slack_web.py, tests/unit/messages/messaging_integrations/test_slack_web.py	Slack channel_not_found errors raise the dedicated exception with the channel name. Other Slack errors continue to raise MessagingIntegrationError. Tests cover both cases.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: ofek1weiss

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b1056

The new exception does not expose the channel name as the PR describes, so downstream code still has to parse the error message. Add the constructor and pass the raw channel name before merging.

Assert the structured field directly.

The test only checks that "alerts" appears in the message. Add an assertion for exc_info.value.channel_name so the test verifies the public exception contract.

     assert "alerts" in str(exc_info.value)
+    assert exc_info.value.channel_name == "alerts"

- Line 12: Define __init__ on MessagingIntegrationDestinationNotFoundError to
accept the raw channel_name, assign self.channel_name, and preserve the existing
exception message via the base initializer. Update _handle_send_err to raise the
exception with channel_name directly rather than passing the formatted message.
