General Exception Notification

[MARIODC]

Hi all,
Hope all is wall this special time.

As you may have experience during the whole automation running/process we may have any type of exception anywhere, I mean anywhere and many of them. Let’s say I’m trying to get the last one only, the one from all try/catch that finally stopped the bot just like when we see it on the ‘output’ panel.

•How can you get/email that ‘very last’ exception that stopped the bot?

As usual I have been researching (link below) and checking some videos from uipath.com/developer or even some articles here at the forum, gets closer but no specif or ‘FINAL’ solution for it so I had to bring the question back again.

Samples/RE:

Is there a way to check if an activity was completed successfully, from within the process?

Hi Everyone, I have a scenario. Lets say my process has 3 activities. First activity is a click, second is a Type Into, third is a click. Now my requirement is that only if a value is typed into the field by the second activity, I need to proceed to the click activity. In other words, after the Type Into activity, I need to have some kind of a check that says “Yes. The ‘Type Into’ activity is successful. You can proceed to the next activity” Is there away to accomplish this except by using …

Be Safe!

Hi @MARIODC,

Agreed - It is very tedious to check for each and every activity failure . So In practice , how we can implement is

1. we divide the automation into logical xamls . lets say xaml1 , xaml2 , xaml3
   2.Now we have process .xaml where we keep three xamls once by one.
2. we implement- try catch on each on xaml and from the exceptions - we rethrow the exception.
3. So when there is an exception in any xaml file - the exception is thrown to process.xaml .
4. Exception handeling of process.xaml decides on the basis on exception type - how do we handle this. So if the exception type is System exception - we send email to developer … if BE - then send email to Business.

Now , In the Above setup : •How can you get/email that ‘very last’ exception that stopped the bot?

• We Can write custom logs -
  At the beggining of the automation - we create a Textfile called Logfile and for everystep - we keep appending the Logs.
• in exception also - we append the log file with exception details / activity name / source . - This info at the same time can be sent in mail also.
  –This way you can read the log file and say yesthe bot broke at step 5.
