Handling exceptions

If you need to capture information about an exception in the Setup, Test, or Reset member functions, override TTest::HandleException, which is called whenever an exception is caught. To capture information about an exception that occurs in the Cleanup member function, override HandleCleanupException.

Both HandleException member functions make a copy of the exception, which you can retrieve with CreateException or CreateCleanupException. You can override the HandleException member functions to be notified when an exception occurs or to repair a test after an exception to make it streamable to the log.

Tests with uncaught exceptions fail by definition; if an uncaught exception occurs, TTest::Run will call SetSuccess(false) before calling HandleException.

To get information about an exception:

1. Override the appropriate exception handling member function, either HandleException or HandleCleanupException.
   
2. In your member function, call the inherited HandelException function to make a copy of the exception that you can use.
   
3. Write the code to perform what you need to do after the exception.
   

     void TSampleObjectBaseTest::HandleException(const TStandardException& exception)
     {
             TTest::HandleException(exception);
             OutputTextStream() << "\nHandleException!\n";
     }
