Try/Catch to do catch GlideRecord SetValue in ScriptInclude

[Bruno Leclerc]

Hi,

I can't catch this stupid error :

Let's say I initialize this GlideRecord in a stupid way. When calling setValue method throws an error that I am not able to catch.

Why ? Thanks

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

var gr=new GlideRecord(null); // Missing table name
try
{
    gr.setValue(100,"toto");
}
catch(e)
{
    gs.log("Never goes here.");
}

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

That's because no error is thrown? I believe.

You can try:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

var gr=new GlideRecord(null); // Missing table name
gr.query();
try
{
    gr.setValue(100,"toto");
}
catch(e)
{
    gs.log("Never goes here.");
}

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I added in a gr.query(); to now get it going.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Hi,

Yea and really I'd think you'd want to "try" it all, so this would work too:

try
{
var gr=new GlideRecord(null); // Missing table name
gr.query();
    gr.setValue(100,"toto");
}
catch(e)
{
    gs.info("Never goes here.");
}

Hi,

Yea, you could also move all of the code inside the try, and then that works too:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

try
{
var gr=new GlideRecord(null); // Missing table name
gr.query();
    gr.setValue(100,"toto");
}
catch(e)
{
    gs.log("Never goes here.");
}

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
