(defmacro itry "If expr results in an exception, prompt the user to retry or give up. The user can execute arbitrary code somewhere else or fiddle with a DB before retrying. Returns nil if the user gives up." [expr] `(loop [result# :success] (case result# :no nil :success (recur (try ~expr (catch Exception e# (-> (ui/dialog :option-type :yes-no :content (str "An exception occurred:\n" e# "\n\nRetry this step?\n" '~expr) :title "Retry?") ui/pack! ui/show!)))) result#))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
