Try catch block is not executed

[garvitag...@gmail.com]

HI,

I am using selenium verison 3.4, testng and maven. Issue is: try catch block is not executed. No error comes, build is successful. Steps to reproduce :

1. There is user page, in which all users are inside <li> tag. I am clicking most recent user created in that run by using iTestContext and pulling value from other class.

2. Store list elelemt and use for loop to traverse through it and click if text()== username recently created.

Note: I commented code inside for loop and just printed one line. it worked fine and try catch block got executed. As i run steps to click element, scroll screen up and edit access, try ctach block is not executed. I am not able to understand whats wrong in this for loop code.

public class AccessToProjects extends Base {

    String path = "/src/test/java/ipd/administration/users/users.properties";

    String usercreated;

    public AccessToProjects() throws IllegalArgumentException, IOException {

        super();

    }

    @BeforeClass

    public void load() throws IOException {

        prop = new Properties();

        loadPropertyFile(path);

    }

    @Test

    public void project_access(ITestContext itc) {

        usercreated = (String) itc.getAttribute(CreateUser.user_name);

        List<WebElement> li = driver.findElements(By

                .xpath(".//*[@id='users-list']/ul/li/div/div/div[1]/span/a"));

        for (WebElement opt : li) {

            if (opt.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(usercreated)) {

                opt.click();

                click("EditProjectAccess");

                click("SelectAnalyst");

                JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

                jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,-250)", "");

                click("submitAccess");

                jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,-250)", "");

                return;

            }

        }

        /* verify analyst access is given to user */

        try {

            driver.findElement(By.xpath(prop.getProperty("verify_access")))

                    .isDisplayed();

            System.out.println("User is given analyst access.  ");

        } catch (Exception e) {

            // error

            System.out

                    .println("There is some issue, user is not given analyst access.");

        }

    }

}

Please help on this. 

Thanks !

The if condition within your for loop has a "return" statement in it. Maybe that is what is causing Java to skip further exception and thus your code within your try..catch block is not getting executed ?

Hi,

I used break instead of return. It worked for me. Try catch block is being executed now.

Thanks,
