try-catch: error.message?

simmerl

Hi,
one of your examples for exception handling and logging is

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

Is it possible to use the exception message which is being logged for own purposes? This would make the notifications sent out by Nagios more precise.
If I am trying the following...

var $nagiosMessage="";
try {  
      _assertContainsText("ANMELDUNG", _heading2("I_AM_THE_WRONG_ELEMENT"),"Headline ANMELDUNG was not found!");
      ...
      ...
      ...
      $nagiosMessage = "All tests passed ok.";
} catch(error) {
      $nagiosMessage = error.message;     
} finally { 
  if (ScriptRunner.hasErrors) {
    sendResult2Nagios(2,$nagiosMessage);    
  } else {
    sendResult2Nagios(0,$nagiosMessage);
  }
}     

...sahi loggs

JSERROR
_alert(error.message);
ReferenceError: error is not defined

How do I access this "error" object?

Thanks,

Simon,

What you are doing is correct except that you should use $error instead of error.

Btw, if you did not have that _alert, even error would have worked.
