Summary: Exception KeyError not caught but propagted instead

Description loretta 2010-02-03 13:02:22 UTC
In the following code KeyErrors are anticipated and action is taken accordingly by the except branch:

    def alarm_activate( self, id):
        assert isinstance(id, AlarmId)
        try:
            alarm = self._ALARM_DICT[id.as_key()]

        except KeyError:
            alarm = self._ALARM_DICT[AlarmId( 999).as_key()]
            alarm.note( id)

        self._alarms_active_by_id[id.as_key()] = alarm
        alarm.activate()
        return

This code works fine, if it is run outside the debugger. If it is run by the debugger, the code w/i the except branch is never exec'ed. The exception seems to be propagated up to main. That causes the debugger to stop:  >>>Debug session normal end.

The program's output should be (and is, if run ordinarily):

Activate unknown alarm. 
Activate known alarm. 
Print all alarms. 
Print alarm 0. 
[999] FATAL: Unknown error -1!
Deactivate alarm 0. 
Print alarm 1. 
[1] ERROR: Kinematic error!
Deactivate alarm 1. 
Finidhed. 

However, if it is run in debug mode, the output is:

>>>[LOG]PythonDebugger : overall Starting
[LOG]PythonDebugger.taskStarted : I am Starting a new Debugging Session ...
[LOG]This window is an interactive debugging context aware Python Shell 
[LOG]where you can enter python console commands while debugging

As soon as the code contains exceptions, the debugger seems useless.

Kind regards

P.S.: My 1st post here, hope I did it right...
Comment 1 davtom 2010-04-21 16:35:15 UTC
I have reproduced this issue in some code that was entirely different to this. I worked around it successfully by running my script, rather than debugging it.
Comment 2 Jenselme 2017-06-22 22:07:57 UTC
Should be solved with the new debugger when we add it. The debugger is currently disabled. Closing this since there is no point into importing it elsewhere.
Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2017-06-23 08:05:41 UTC
Thanks for your evaluation Julien. Reporter, if you think your issue is still valid and needs to be addressed, don't hesitate to reopen it with additional information. Closing for now.
