BatMan22 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Is it possible to get autoit to stop or error out on every minor warning or error? Like lets say it can't access a file.. instead of just continuing, forcing a quit or a warning? I want to debug my program and when I initially wrote my massive and bloated program I didn't include much in the way of error catching.. Is there a trigger of some sort that I can add so it runs in 'stop on EVERY error or failure mode'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mLipok Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Not all errors mean that you must exit internal function to main loop. Some @error could mean that you need to repeat the same function for example: $ADO_ERR_RECORDSETEMPTY, _ ; The Recordset is Empty $ADO_ERR_NOCURRENTRECORD, _ ; The Recordset has no current record which mean that SQL Execute was performed correctly but without any row results.

BatMan22 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'm confused.. what does SQL have to do with all this? And yes, I know that for different errors I will want to trigger different effects but I was hoping to kinda 'catch' them all. No worries Thanks though.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 23, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2019 And with proper error handling you will catch the majority. If your goal is to capture every possible error that could happen in any given scenario, might as well shoot yourself now and save yourself the headache.
