Jscript exception Line number

When an exception caught is it possible to find the line number which caused the exception?.



ex:

try

{

log.Message("Test1");

log.Message("Test2");

log.Message("Test3");

}

catch (e)

{

// Posts an exception message to the test log

Log.Error(e.description);

}



Here if execption occurs on Test2, i get an exception description, but i would like to know the line number as well. Is this possible?. 



Thanks,

Muthu

    Clicking on exception from test log takes to you to the Log.Error line, but not to log.Message line.

    Hi Muthu,


     


    In the current TestComplete version, that's impossible. However, we have an appropriate suggestion in our DB, and your request has increased its rating. Thanks.

    Hi Muthu,

    If you look at the "Additional Information" section. it will show you more details about the errors.

    Also , to add further , you can use "Err" object if you are using VB script.




    try {
       // Throw an error.
       throw new Error(42,"No question");
    } catch(e) {
       print(e)
    // Extract the error code from the error number.
       print(e.number & 0xFFFF)
       print(e.description)
    }

    I hope this has been of some help.

    Is this feature request still in progress? When an exception occurs the call stack only shows the line number of the statement in the catch, not the actual line number of what caused the exception. This makes it very difficult to track down where the exception accually occured. The exception object doesn't seem to have the line number in it either. I am forced into going back through previous log.messages in the log before the exception occured and guessing at where the exception actually came from. I am using jscript in TestComplete 10.3 if that matters.

    Hi,

     

    we also look forward to this feature. Finding bugs where the exception is caught consumes a massive amount of time. Especially if the exception occurs in very deep method calls.
