IfError not work well with Set&Patch combination

(0) ShareShare

Hi,

 

IfError doesn't work when using code like this:

IfError(Set(varID,Patch(...),Notify("Error"))

 

Any ideas?

    The Set function will not return an error. In a formula such as Set(var, expression), if expression is an error then the value of 'var' will be that error - Set did what it was supposed to do. For your scenario, you can have something like the following:

    Set(varId, Patch(...));
    IfError(varId, Notify($"Error: {FirstError.Message}"))

    Hope this helps!

    @CarlosFigueira in this case if the Patch throws an error will it be an unhandled error and be caught by App.OnError??

    No - when we save the result of the Patch in a variable using the Set function, we are handling the error ourselves (by storing it). So it will not bubble up to the App.OnError handler.

    Thanks @CarlosFigueira . Makes perfect sense when you put it like that. Cheers.
