How to catch exceptions in action helper?

Question

When I throw new Zend_Exception('You are not allowed',403); exception (e.g. throw new Zend_Exception('You are not allowed',403); ) in the Action Helper, the ErrorHandler will not catch it. I got Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Exception' with message 'You are not allowed' in..

I also set throwExceptions = false in frontController.

How to catch exceptions in Action Controller?

Answer 1

The ErrorHandler plugin is not designed to detect errors in plugins or helpers: it is designed to detect errors that occur in the postDispatch() event postDispatch() , and therefore is more suitable for detecting errors in your MVC.

This is by design. You should probably not exclude exceptions from the controller assistants and action assistants, and use “manual” error handling instead.
