Error Handling Mechanism In AutoIT

[Jigs]

Hi

I have used other tools for doing GUI Testing, but I am relatively new with AutoIT.

Normally in a language like C# we have a Try.. Catch block as a Error Handling Mechanism

OR Like

onerror GoTo <Function> Mechanism

What do we have in AutoIT?

Eg. So let say i have a script with following lines

Dim $var1

Dim $var2

$var1 = ShellExecute("outlook.exe")

$var2 = WinWait("Outlooks","",10)

.....

......

Other script commands

What i need is that if any of the line fails like ShellExecute or WinWait it should stop script execution and execute Error Function or return with 1 as ExitCode. Is this Possible.??

What i tried was to add this line on top.

$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrorHandling")

but it never executed the MyErrorHandling function, becuase WinWait is error for me as string "Outlooks" will not exist.

Please Guide.

Dim $res
$res = 0
$res += ShellExecute("outlook.exe")
$res += WinWait("Outlooks","",10)
If $res < 2 Then MsgBox(0, "Some error", "")

You could experiment with @error and AdlibEnable... but you will also need logging to figure out where it fails

AdlibEnable("errorHandle")

...
...
...

Func errorHandle()
    If @error Then
        ConsoleWrite("Failure" & @CRLF)
        Exit 1
    EndIf
EndFunc

never tried it... worth experimenting

To accomodate returns...

Global $success = 1
AdlibEnable("errorHandle")

$success = functionHere("stuff")
...
...
...

Func errorHandle()
    If (Not $success) Or @error Then
        ConsoleWrite("Failure" & @CRLF)
        Exit 1
    EndIf
EndFunc

Ugh... AdlibEnable does not work how I imagined. I thought it ran after every line of code or 250ms, whatever happened first or some crap like that.

NEVERMIND anything I've posted here... nothing to see here... move along.

Stick to your own thread, learn to read before asking and when you really need to ask a question formulate the question in stead of posting these types of posts. Edited March 9, 2010 by Jos
