Java api and logging errors

pigletto

Hi!

I use Sahi (20110719) from Java on Linux with Firefox. I have Sahi proxy started as external process (./sahi.sh) then I connect to it from my Java code.

The problem appears when exception is raised from Sahi, for example because element was not found on the browser. In this case I can only see:

net.sf.sahi.client.ExecutionException: null (NativeException)

at my console and this is not helpful at all... I've noticed that using:

(...)
try{
browser.div(itemname).click();
}
catch (ExecutionException ex){
System.err.println(ex.toString());
throw ex;
}

gives me much more readable exception, eg:
[INFO] error:_mouseOver(_link("blah"))
[INFO] Error: The parameter passed to _mouseOver was not found on the browser

I suppose that my test runner is using .getMessage() to read error message and getMessage returns 'null'. I think that ExecutionException class should be changed to support getMessage method, and (according to: download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Throwable.html) toString should use getMessage.


Another thing I've noticed while dealing with above issue is that nothing is written into logs. I tried to change loglevels, but I still only have 'playback' directory in my userdata/logs. I expect some .log files to appear there but it doesn't happen. I'm not sure if it exceptions should be logged into this directory or 'logs' is only used with _log method?

Hi pigletto,

First u should check If it's available div tag in that particular page after that u can trigger that div.
I hope the following code has useful for u.

if( browser.div(itemname).exists() ){
browser.div(itemname).click();
}else{
//Print statement whatever u want
}

Azhaguvel.A thanks for your reply but the main problem here is retrieving exception information if one happens.
I know I can check for existence of div element, but it is just an example here. It is hard to write/debug code if you can't see what was the exception
