Retry
This document explains how to use retry functionality with some simple examples.
Example 1 :
// example1.cfm
path="test.txt";
function fr(){
dump(fileRead(path));
}
try {
fr();
}
catch(e) {
if(!fileExists(path)) {
fileWrite(path,"content of the file");
fr();
}
else echo(e);
}
if(fileExists(path)) fileDelete(path);
In this example have the "try" and "catch" blocks for reading a file and outputting the file content. Maybe that file does not exist in every case. So we have to checked in advanced if the file exists or not. In this example, the file read is a function fr(), and we will call this function in the "try" block. If the file does not exist, the "catch" block is executed and the fr() function is called again.
This is not a best way. 'Retry' is a better option. The retry code looks like example2.cfm
Example 2 :
// example2.cfm
path="test.txt";
try {
dump(fileRead(path));
}
catch(e) {
if(!fileExists(path)) {
fileWrite(path,"content of the file");
retry;
}
echo(e);
}
if(fileExists(path)) fileDelete(path);
In this example we use the retry functionality. Here we also still check if the file exist or not. If the file does not exist, we create a new file by using fileWrite. Then call retry to avoid duplicate code fr(). Retry points to the beginning of the try block and then it will read again the file and output the file content.
We do not get an exception because if the file does not exist, we call retry (read the file again and output the file content). For this case we simply use retry, and if it fails we correct what is wrong.
