Use try-catch and throw

Help

#1

Hi,

So I want to do error handling for an excel error. I’m using a try-catch activity. Inside the try, I put a parallel with the main excel process, and then in a second branch I put an UI Element exists for the error with 1 minute of time (which is the max time for the main process).
After the Ui Element exists, if it’s true there’s a throw activity with “new Exception(“Error”)”.

Then in the catch there’s sequence to close the error.
The problem that I have is that once the error appears it goes to throw, but it gets stuck there, and it’s not going to catch.

How am I supposed to link the throw with the catch?

in the catch you need to have the same exception type as you have in the throw (Exception in your case).

#3

I just added some screenshots so you can see it. Thanks

#4

we cant see where the throw activity is, but if it is inside the TRY part and no container activity is marked as ContinueOnError = TRUE, then it should work.

#5

Everything is as you said. Plus, when I run in debbug mode, it works fine. But when I run normally, it gets stuck in the throw activity and nothing happens…

#6

do you see that error found message in your log?

#7

No I don’t

#8

so it means you are not getting to the throw activity…

#9

In this screenshots you can see that I get the log message before the throw. And that’s the last thing I have in my log, it stays stuck in that for minutes…

first i ask if you see this and you say you didnt…

#11

Oh I thought you meant an error message from the throw activity, sorry

#12

can you put another log right after the throw activity?

#13

Yes I just did, it’s stopping before the throw, doesn’t reach the log after the throw

#14

good, that was expected, now put another one BEFORE the element exists inside the CATCH… maybe your element exists is with wait forever option…

#15

It doesn’t reach that log, so the last one I see is before the throw. The thing is that the throw works in Debug and not in Run…

#16

humm, i still think something is not right… just in case, can you fill back the variable name for that Catch exception property?

#17

Yes I just did, and it’s still getting stuck…

#18

gee i dont use much parallel activity, so maybe there is something we are missing with it… we should call for some reinforcements on this :sweat_smile: @Palaniyappan @Lahiru.Fernando
