Error log despite try... catch operation

Hi everybody,

maybe somebody can help me with my issue: Despite of using a try... catch... operation I get an error logged when the try operation fails:

    try {
      adobeReader.dlgPrint.cmbPrinter.ClickItem("Microsoft Print To PDF"); 
    } catch (ex) {
      adobeReader.dlgPrint.cmbPrinter.ClickItem("Amyuni PDF Suite"); 
    }

The item "Microsoft Print To PDF" does not exist and so TC should select "Amyuni PDF Suite". It has worked previously; one thing I remember I have changed was to add an event handler for log warnings (not errors). Could it depend on this?

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

    Hi,

    Myself personally I like to use if else statements to look if a object is visible on screen or not, and then continue. 

    If object is invisible refresh the browser code:

     

    function IfObjectInvisible()
    {
    if(!Project.Variables.PageObject.VisibleOnScreen){
    Aliases.browser.Refresh() rapidfs account

    }
    else{
    return true;
    }
    }

    If Object is visible, continue, else refresh the browser

     

    function IfObjectVisible()
    {
    if(Project.Variables.PageObject.VisibleOnScreen){
    return true;
    }
    else{
    Aliases.browser.Refresh()

    }
    }





    I dont know if its a great idea to add an event for ignoring errors. If you were going to, I would recommend adding that within the logic itself, not an event for every error. 

    Thanks for the update. I'll be sure to keep an eye on this thread.

        Hi Sonya,

        that's a workaround that I can use but the problem itself is not solved this way: If an error handler for warnings is defined, try --- catch does not work as it should.
