PCL/PJSR: No way to continue after executeGlobal() returns with false

[georg.viehoever]

Hi,

(ordinary mortals: you can stop reading here, it gets down into the underworld of PI   )

the following happens when using the SystemCommand module described in http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=1791.0, but probably happens with any (standard) PI module that returns false on executeGlobal() when used from PJSR:

The following PJSR script should execute "ls", "echo run 1", fail on "bla bla" and continue with "echo run 2":

Code: [Select]

var testFunc=function(sCommandLine){
      var pSystemCommand=new SystemCommand;
      with (pSystemCommand) {
         commandLine=sCommandLine;
      }
      console.writeln("starting ",sCommandLine);
      try {
         pSystemCommand.executeGlobal();
      }catch(e){
         console.writeln("caught ",sCommandLine);
      }
      console.writeln("done ",sCommandLine);
}

testFunc("ls");
testFunc("echo run 1");
// following fails because bla does not exist as executable
testFunc("bla bla");
// never gets here.
testFunc("echo run 2");

In reality, it never gets beyond "bla bla", because in this case on the C++ level,  SystemCommandInstance::executeGlobal() returns false. The output is this:

Code: [Select]

run -execute-mode=auto "/home/georg/tmp/scripts/test.js"
