E2 Catching an exception.

Example

<?php

namespace Test\e2;

class EmptyCatch {
    public function test() {
        try {
            $this->throw();
        } catch(Exception $e) {}
    }

    public function throw() {
        throw new Exception("test");
    }
}

There is nothing wrong with catching an exception. The problem is that Exception can be anything. When implementing this feature, you are probably trying to solve an issue you ran into.

Instead of catching \Exception or Throwable it will be better to create a specific Throwable class that specificies what happened.

Solution

```php <?php

namespace Test\e2;

class EmptyCatch { public function test() { try { $this->throw(); } catch(TestFailedException $e) {} }

public function throw() {
    throw new TestFailedException("test");
} } `
