Description: ------------ The function getString() improperly _returns_ an exception instead of _throwing_ it. This causes grief for anyone trying to catch the exception, as it ends up in the return value, where it doesn't belong. Function definition: private function getString($verb, $args = array()) { try { $result = $this->doCommand($verb, $args); } catch (Testing_Selenium_Exception $e) { return $e; } return (strlen($result) > 3) ? substr($result, 3) : ''; } Since it does nothing with the caught exception, it seems to me that this could be: private function getString($verb, $args = array()) { $result = $this->doCommand($verb, $args); return (strlen($result) > 3) ? substr($result, 3) : ''; }

Thanks Bill, I think you are right, and try catch cause statement there should not be here. I will fix it soon in next release.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been fixed in the latest released version of the package, which you can download at http://pear.php.net/get/Testing_Selenium Fixed in 0.4.3. Please use the version above 0.4.3. Thanks,
