Try / Catch bug ?

Hi everyone,
I have a try/catch looking like that:
Code: Select all
try{
Property.selected = true;
}catch(err1){
Result = false;
}
Every time I execute my script (by pressing a button on my script UI), the first time it goes into this try/catch, the script fails and open the Extend Script saying that Property.selected cannot be true because property is hidden. And that's exactly why I do this try/catch. But after this initial fail, it won't ever fail again. If I close my script and reopen it, i'll get once again the fail on the first try, and then it will go smoothly.
It there something i'm missing yet ?

Hey Seb,
Is there a reason you cant do an if else conditional intead of a try catch?

I made a if/else statement at first, but I was getting the same error when testing if it was possible to set the param to true.

Yeah this try/catch bug is a real pain. I run into it all the time when writing scripts that need try/catches. The only things I think you can do are turn off the javascript debugger pref or save and run the script as a .jsxbin

Yes, it's a bug occuring when "enable java debugger" is on, and finaly I use jsxbin format to avoid it.
i've subbmitted a bug report on the online bug report form on Adobe.com, let's cross fingers and hope it will be squished in a future release.

FYI. This issue is still present in CC 2014 (13.2) - boo!
