How to get string of PS into FindFailed exception clause

Asked by Vivek Ayer

Hi,

Suppose I have a try..except clause. This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm able to solve it. I have a screenshot that I know I can't find in the try clause. For logging purposes, how do I get the path of that screenshot once it enters the FindFailed except clause? Somehow use getLastMatch()??

i.e.,

try:
   click(PS)
except FindFailed:
   ?? how to get str(PS) here??

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Vivek

Not a feature in the moment, you should post a [feature request] bug: match should know it's pattern.

Since I "hated" FindFailed from beginning, I requested exists() ... and got it ;-)

Solution with exists (works with try: except: as well ;-)

img = Pattern or string
if exists(img): click(getLastMatch())
else: print "FindFailed:", img; exit(1)

with exists() you might even go on in your script and take corrective actions in case of FindFailed.

Tip:
for such simple constructs like

try:
   click(PS)
except FindFailed:
   ?? how to get str(PS) here??

I use to make it more readable:

try: click(PS)
except: print "error"; exit(1)

Actually, since I just want the debug output of FindFailed, which
includes the path name of the image it couldn't find, I can just do
this:

try:
   click(PS)
except FindFailed, debugging:
   print debugging

The debugging output is stored in 'debugging', which I can then play with.

Thanks for the tip!
Vivek
