Error handling? - ultrabrutal - 2009-06-24
If for example a call to a function in the scraper fails (login error, server offline etc). How do I show this to the user.
I've tried to do a hack where I write the error as a result from GetSearchResults (login error), but it does not show in XBMC - only in the ScraperXML tester.
Spiff, how do I go about this?

uhm, error handling is uhrr, nonexistent
it *should* error out if empty xml is returned, but it won't necessarily give ui feedback

that was what I was afraid of
consider this a feature request then

This is my fake error handling for login errors:
Code:
<RegExp input="$$3" output="<results>\1</results>" dest="8"><RegExp input="$$1" output="<entity><title>Error returned from server</title><id>123456789</id><url>NA</url></entity><entity><title>\1</title><id>987654321</id><url>NA</url></entity>" dest="3"><expression repeat="no"><response status="failed">(.*?)</response></expression></RegExp><expression noclean="1" /></RegExp>ScraperXML test: shows this result from my scraper when invalid login:
Code:
<results>
<entity>
<title>Error returned from server</title>
<id>123456789</id>
<url>NA</url>
</entity>
<entity>
<title>UserName and Password not supplied</title>
<id>987654321</id>
<url>NA</url>
</entity>
</results>However this is not displayed in XBMC. Any idea why not?

No one has an idea?
Ok, in that case... Spiff, where would be a good point to set a break point in the source as it must be a bug?
