Error handling with autoit

[fielmann]

Hello autoit-friends

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snip ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#include <IE.au3>

while 1=1

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.myhomepage.com/")

$sText = _IEBodyReadText ($oIE)

$result = StringInStr($sText, "welcome")

if $result =0 then msgbox(0,"error", "problem",10)

_IEQuit ($oIE)

wend

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ snap ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The script works, but when I cut my internet connection the script stops with the message:

Title: AutoIt Error

Line 2774 (File "C:\Programme\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3"):

$o_object.GoBack ()

$o_object.GoBack ()^ ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

What can I do that the script is continuing?

How to handle the error?

Any idea is welcome!

What version of AutoIt are you running? And what version of the IE.au3 UDF? That code does not line up with the given line number in either IE.au3 version 2.3-1 (comes with AutoIt 3.2.10.0), or 2.4-0 (ships with 3.2.11.1-Beta).

Meaby make it like this??

#include <IE.au3>
while 1
if ping("http://www.myhomepage.com/",1000)=0 then
msgbox(0,"error", "internet connection lost or serwer is down !",5)
ContinueLoop
else
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.myhomepage.com/")
$sText = _IEBodyReadText ($oIE)
if StringInStr($sText, "welcome") = 0 then msgbox(0,"error", "problem",10)
_IEQuit ($oIE)
endif
wend

I'm using Version 3.2.4.9 from (May 25th 2007)

I've just updatet my AutoIt to Version 3.2.10.0

The problem appears also in the new version

I get back the folowing error-message:

>>>> Window <<<<

Title: AutoIt Error

OK

Line 2780 (File "C:\Programme\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3"):

$o_object.GoBack ()

$o_object.GoBack ()^ ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

Any idea how to fix it?

OK, getting to that line requires a call to _IEAction($oIE, "back"), which I don't see in the code you posted. Find out where you are doing this and check the validity of $oIE (or whatever you named the IE object) at that point in your script.

P.S. There is a normal error that occurs if you try to "back" from the first page in the browser. Run this to see it:

#include <IE.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com")
Sleep(1000)
; _IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.openoffice.org")
Sleep(1000)
_IEAction($oIE, "back")

If you uncomment the _IENavigate(), then the error goes away, because there is now a page to go "back" to.

But this still appears to have nothing to do with the code you cited in the OP.
