Summary: RBScript: RunTimeError Event Not called
Category: REALbasic / Framework / User Interface / Controls / RBScript
Severity:Incorrect Functionality
Description
I purposely introduced an out of bound exception in an RBScript to
see what would happen... I assumed that The RuntimeError event would
be called so that I could inform the user of the error and the line
it's on so they could fix it...
Instead the event is not called and i get the generic RB unhandled
OOB exception Dialog saying the App Must quit.. Which i which is not
what I want... and end users writing scripts would not take kindly to
that...
IMO it's a BIG BUG for RBscript
I suppose I could add an exception handler to the script itself, but
I suspect then i would lose the original line number of the
exception, which would not be very helpful to Scriptors who would not
be expert RB Coders
IDE Version: REALbasic 2006r2fc4 (actually fc3)
Target and Platform Run on:
Macintosh - OS X 10.4.6 Dual Core 2.3 GHz PowerMac G5 2.5 GB RAM
Steps to Reproduce:
1) New project

3) In RBScript1.RuntimeError Event:
Sub RuntimeError(line As Integer, error As RuntimeException)
MsgBox "RunTime error on line " + str(line)
End Sub
4) In Window1.Open Event
Sub Open()
RbScript1.Source = "Dim I(2) as Integer" + EndOfLine _
+ "I(0) = I(5)"
RbScript1.Run
End Sub
5) Run
Event Not called and i get the standard OOB Exception
Workaround : Not sure of any...
