Building a Custom Error Handler that Emails the Error Details


If you would like to create a custom error handler that will e-mail you directly, you will want to add the following to your Mail Action's pre-script. 

String BodyText = "\n";

String SubjectText;
 

FlowChart myChart = flowContext.getFlowChart();
 

String myChartName = myChart.getName();

String throwingActionName = flowContext.getErrorResult().throwingAction;

String curActionName = flowContext.getActionName();

String message = flowContext.getErrorResult().message;

String stackTrace = flowContext.getErrorResult().stackTrace;
 

SubjectText = "Flux Error: " + myChartName + " failed";
 

BodyText = BodyText + "There was an error in flowchart " + myChartName;

BodyText = BodyText + " during action \"" + throwingActionName +"\"" +"\n";

BodyText = BodyText + " The error was \"" + message + "\" \n" + "\n";

BodyText = BodyText + "The stack trace is: \n";
BodyText = BodyText + stackTrace + "\n";
 
myChart.getAction(curActionName).setBody(BodyText);

myChart.getAction(curActionName).setSubject(SubjectText);
