The Error Oject is used to return rich error information from asynchronous STRIDE calls. An Error Object is instantiated by STRIDE internally and is returned from ascript.WaitForEvent() instead of (or in addition to) the expected User/Owner object.

The Error Object can only be obtained as a result of calling WaitForEvent(). An Error Object is returned whenever an asynchonous operation has been previously invoked and subsequently fails. Asynchronous operations that can subsequently yield error events are limited to the following:

  • Function.User.CallNonBlocking() Method
  • Function.User.CallBypassOverrideNonBlocking() Method
  • Message.User.SendCmd() Method
  • Message.User.SendCmdBypassOverride() Method
  • Message.Owner.SendRsp() Method

Type
Description
Code Property
Read-only,
int
Error code corresponding to the error.
Description Property
Read-only,
String
Description of the error suitable for display to the user or to write to a log file.
Name Property
Read-only,
int
Contains the name of the error source. Indicates the system that was the source of the error. This property is used to provide additional classification of an Error object. Values include:


"HostError" - Error occurred on host
"TargetError" - Error occurred on target
"SystemError" - Error occurred in the STRIDE application
ShortDescription Property
Read-only,
String
Contains a canonical string of each error code (redundant to the error code). The string representation can be compared and/or switched on in a script to take specific actions.
Type Property
Read-only,
int
Always contains "Error". This property is present in all objects that can be returned from ascript.WaitForEvent(). The Type property is typically used to classify such an object in a script.
