Try¶

A try statement is a sequence of operations executed in the same order they are declared. If an operation fails the entire step is considered failed.

The try statement is at the heart of a test step, it represents what the step is supposed to be about.

catch and finally statements should be viewed as complementary to the try statement.

Continue on error

By default a test step stops executing when an operation fails and the following operations are not executed.

This behaviour can be changed using the continueOnError field, if continueOnError is set to true the step will still be considered failed but execution will continue with the next operations.

Operations¶

A try statement supports all operations:
