Forum: Ruby how to skip lines whenever there is an error?

Hi,

I have the code below :


option.select_by(:text, value)
wbs.cells(rows,9).value = "Done"
rows = rows + 1
count_dropdown = count_dropdown - 1


Now sometimes I am getting an error as -
"(Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchElementError)"

So I tried below :

option.select_by(:text, value)

rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchElementError

wbs.cells(rows,9).value = "Done" <~~ But I want this line to be skipped
whenever there is an error.

rows = rows + 1
count_dropdown = count_dropdown - 1

Please guide me how to do that?

Thanks

The typical way to handle that is begin rescue end:

begin
  code
  which
  might
  raise
  an
  exception
  here
rescue TheExceptionType => e
  handle error
end

Cheers

I think you missed my point.

Thanks

And now where exactly did I miss your point?  This is what I suggested.

:) I couldn't read your code well, as it was folded within it.

Thanks

You need to slow down and read everything more carefully. A lot more of 
your problems will solve themselves that way.

Another construct here:


begin

option.select_by(:text, value)

rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchElementError

p "do nothing"

else

wbs.cells(rows,9).value = "Done" <~~~~ Found the resolutions here

end

#print "nothing"

rows = rows + 1
count_dropdown = count_dropdown - 1
