Exception Handling in Sahi ·

Exceptions are handled via regular javascript try catch blocks since Sahi V2.

Syntax

try{
    // sahi statements
}catch(e){
    // Corrective action    
    // Can print exact source of error in log
    // Can throw the same or another exception
}

Eg.

Corrective Action

try{
  _click(_link("does not exist"));
}catch(e){
  _log("Exception occured"); // simple logging. no failure
  _click(_link("linkByHtml")); // Corrective action
}

Corrective Action and Log the Exception Message

try{
  _click(_link("does not exist"));
}catch(e){
  _click(_link("linkByHtml")); // Corrective action
  _logException(e); // Logs the exception, but does not fail
}

Corrective Action, Log and then Fail

try{
  _click(_link("does not exist"));
}catch(e){
  _click(_link("linkByHtml")); // Corrective action
  _logExceptionAsFailure(e); // Logs the exception, and fails, 
   // and in the logs, points to the original line as source of failure.
}
