Error Handling Failed Checkpoints

Hey guys,

I'm working on implementing error handling in my automated tests and I was wondering how other testers approach error handling when it comes to their scripts or keyword tests.

I want to wrap my automated tests in a try-catch statement where the catch statement will launch a function that will refresh the tested application  to a default state for the next automated test.

function test1()
{
try{
*Perform Actions*
Checkpoint()
*Continue Performing Actions*
}
catch(e){
setTestApplicationToDefault()
//continue to test2
}

However, I found a tricky situation. When Test Completes checkpoints fail (regions, File, etc..), they will throw errors. In my mind, a failed checkpoint is not necessarily an error. I would like the automated test to continue to completion and I will examine the test log later.

Thanks in advance!
