Hi,

No, since it is a runtime error, you will need to check the output form
STAX EXECUTE .... RETURNRESULT, and if the 'Status' is 'Terminated' then
you must check the STAX Job log for the error details.

Hi David

I know why the job fails, in fact I want it to (as an example of handling
such errors). I am meaning to submit the job from a Python script. It
sounds pretty kludgy having to query the log to figure out what went wrong,
isn't there some more direct way to catch the error?

  The error is occurring because your function defines a required argument,
  but you did not specify the argument on the STAX EXECUTE request. So, if
  you get the following:

  >STAF local STAX EXECUTE FILE C:/STAF/services/stax/test.xml MACHINE
  local WAIT RETURNRESULT
  Response
  --------
  {
    Job ID         : 3
    Start Date-Time: 20101006-09:17:06

    Testcase Totals: {
      Tests : 0
      Passes: 0
      Fails : 0
    }
  }

  Then you can query the STAX job log to get detailed information about the
  error:

  >STAF local LOG QUERY MACHINE {STAF/Config/MachineNickname} LOGNAME

  Response

  If you execute the job via the STAX Monitor, then you will see the error
  in the Messages panel:

  20101006-09:21:12 STAXFunctionArgValidate signal raised. Terminating job.


  ===== XML Information =====

  And then if you specify the function argument on the STAX EXECUTE
  request, then the job completes successfully:

  >STAF local STAX EXECUTE FILE C:/STAF/services/stax/test.xml MACHINE
  local ARGS ['myArg'] WAIT RETURNRESULT

 Subject:          [staf-users] How to get error information from STAX job
                                                                       






  Hello

  I am new to STAF/STAX and am trying to implement a job as a STAX
  function. First of all, I should like to get error information when the
  function call fails. So far I am testing by calling my function without
  its required arguments, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to
  get at the error.

  My STAX job definition is as simple as this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  <!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd">
  <stax>
    <defaultcall function="NoOp"/>
    <function name="NoOp">
      <function-list-args>
        <function-required-arg name="arg1"/>
      </function-list-args>
      <nop/>
    </function>
  </stax>


  I execute it with the command 'staf local stax EXECUTE FILE
  C:/Users/knuarv/STAX/test.xml MACHINE local WAIT RETURNRESULT'. The
  following information is then printed:
  Response
  --------
  {
    Job ID         : 51
    Start Date-Time: 20101006-12:41:27
    End Date-Time  : 20101006-12:41:27
    Status         : Terminated
    Result         : org.python.core.pyinsta...@de9738
    Testcase Totals: {
      Tests : 0
      Passes: 0
      Fails : 0
    }
  }


  How do I get the error information? I can see that it's failed, given
  that the Status is 'Terminated', but I need more detail.

  Thanks,
  Arve
