Hi diwakar_sh12, not sure if you saw my previous response, but FindElement() does not throw an error. It either returns the Object or None. You need to raise an exception if the object is not found, for the try...except statement to work

 

For example, in the following code, Log.Message("Error") will never been called if FindElement() returns None

 

def test1():
    obj = None
    try:
        obj = Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("*").FindElement("//a[@title='Contact Me']")
    except:
        Log.Message("Error") # Never called!
    Log.Message("Continue...")

 

You need to do something like this

 

def test1():
    try:
        DoSomething()
    except Exception as ex:
        Log.Message(ex)

def DoSomething():
    obj = None
    obj = Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("*").FindElement("//a[@title='Contact Me']")
    if obj is None:
        raise Exception("Object not found")

Hi rraghvani,

 

Based on your suggestion I've tweaked my code. I've removed Try and Except block and used the OnLogError event to handle the error. I've added a project variable to increase error count ( we can not reset Log.errCount value), based on this project variable value I'm making the decision to exit the loop or to enter another function in the loop. I'm resetting this project variable value at the start of every test case.

 

Thanks,

Diwakar
