Exception Types

[Keith_Keller]

Is there a listing of the difference Exception types somewhere in Xojo documentation that I can review?

Example: I’m using a FolderItem to create a folder. What type of Exception should I reference in the try/catch block?

The documentation for the RuntimeException class has a listing of Exception types:

Notes - RuntimeException — Xojo documentation

Are you encountering an exception while using the FolderItem class? Try/Catch should not be the first tool you reach for when trying to fix an exception.

It should be in the documenation for each method.

In this case it is and it’s an IOException

I’m not experiencing that issue, but one of my users attempted to create a directory in a folder that is marked as read-only and the app ended up crashing.

I later discovered he was using an immutable Linux distro.

Honestly, I was just wondering where in the documentation the different exceptions were.

Thanks for providing a link.
