Unable to catch exception using assert api

javaGuru

Hi,
Please find the below code I am trying to execute, (Using Build: 2010-08-20)


var $myPath = "C:\\Log_201Oct23.log";

try{
_assertTrue(1==2); // or any assert API
_writeFile("TEST PASS",$myPath);
}catch(e){
_writeFile("TEST FAIL",$myPath);
}

Even though the assert fails, the control does not go into the catch block (as expected) !
Under logs I see the assertion failing in red colour.

I'm also seeing this in build 2010-11-03. My first assertion fails but the catch assertion (which should work) is seemingly ignored and I'm getting a red failure in the logs. Here's my code:

try {
_assertExists(_cell($docType, _near(_link("Type[1]"))));
} catch (e) {
_assertExists(_cell("*Not specified", _near(_link("Type[1]"))));
_logException("Doc Type not found...");
}

Perhaps I'm missing something?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi javaGuru and Brian,

For the user, _asserts do not throw an exception. (Sahi internally catches the assert exceptions, logs them and goes on to the next step.)

If you want conditional behaviour, please see if use can use an "if" condition.

Thanks Narayan, I figured this was the case. Ifs it is...
