Exception handling question

FinalBuilder Discussion

I tried to attach an example project (both before and after zipped), but the forums kept showing a server error, so here is the basic structure:

Try
  Try
    Delete File(s) [c:\temp\1.txt]
  Catch
    Raise Exception (%ErrorMsg%)
  End
Catch
  Raise Exception (%ErrorMsg%)
Finally
  MessageBox(%ErrorMsg%)
End  

The file c:\temp\1.txt doesn’t exist, so it throws an exception.

On both of the “catch” actions I have checked the option to save the error text to a variable (ErrorMsg).

It seems like the text from the inner raise exception isn’t being saved to the variable during the outer catch.  It sees the exception text as being blank.

I am using 7.0.0.3202

Is this expected behavior?

Hi Britain Crooker,

Thank you for reporting this. It does appear the exception message is being cleared too early. I will look into this and get back to you.

Hi Britain Crooker,

I have found the issue with the catch action. It was clearing the error message when it should not have been. It will not correctly propagate the error message and error action as you would expect.

Thanks! I re-ran my test project, and it now displays the message properly at the end.
