Generating error on purpose (for try catch activity)

[anon40731888]

Hi

My automation runs on web and there are many many bugs, some of them are almost impossible to fix for me as I’m just a begginer so I figured out that if the error is encountered then my automation will restart (I use retry and try catch activity which works just fine).

How can I generate an error on purpose? let’s say I want to verify that some items were selected before I continue, and I use check app activity:

So when the element appears then it is OK I want to continue as per attached screenshot, but how can I make that if the element does not appear then an error is generated? (so the try catch activity I have will restart the automation)?
