I'm creating an iOS Swift App, using an Objective-C Framework.
The framework header file (SMPort.h):
// ... do all the import //
@interface PortException : NSException
{
}
@end
@interface PortInfo : NSObject
- (id)initWithPortName:(NSString *)portName_ macAddress:(NSString *)macAddress_ modelName:(NSString *)modelName_;
@property(retain, readonly) NSString *portName;
@property(retain, readonly) NSString *macAddress;
@property(retain, readonly) NSString *modelName;
@property(readonly, getter=isConnected) BOOL connected;
@end
@interface SMPort : NSObject {
void * m_port;
WBluetoothPort* wBluetoothPort;
BluetoothPort* bluetoothPort;
NSString * m_portName;
NSString * m_portSettings;
int m_ioTimeoutMillis;
BOOL checkedBlockSupport;
}
@property(assign, readwrite, nonatomic) u_int32_t endCheckedBlockTimeoutMillis;
// Initializer and staff methods...
/*!
* This function retreives the device's detailed status.
*
* @param starPrinterStatus Pointer to a StarPrinterStatus_n structure where the devices detailed status is written
* (either StarPrinterStatus_0, StarPrinterStatus_1, or StarPrinterStatus_2).
* @param level Integer designating the level of status structure (either 0, 1, or 2).
*
* @note Throws PortException on failure.
*/
- (void)getParsedStatus:(void *)starPrinterStatus :(u_int32_t)level;
// The other methods...
I read the framework documentation and I found this Objective-C code (that works perfectly):
@try
{
[starPort getParsedStatus:&status :2];
}
@catch (PortException *exception){
// Print error
}
So I tried to do something like this in Swift 2.1:
do{
try starPort.getParsedStatus(status , 2)
}
catch is PortException{
print("error")
}
But when the error occurs , the compiler stops the app, saying that I didn't catch that error:
2015-11-18 18:59:51.297 $$$$$[$$$$$:$$$$$] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'PortException', reason: 'Native GetParsedStatusEx failed' * First throw call stack: (0x2524a67b 0x36e76e17 0xa3af7 0x6f378 0x6f3d8 0x6fbc0 0x6fd10 0x6ef00 0x87bf8 0x87d80 0x29371559 0x293714e9 0x293594ff 0x29370e45 0x29370abf 0x2936947f 0x2933a561 0x29338bdb 0x2520dbff 0x2520d7ed 0x2520bb5b 0x2515f119 0x2515ef05 0x2e2fcac9 0x293a1f15 0x7f410 0x375e5873) libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type PortException
I also tried something like this:
func doGPS() throws { starPort.getParsedStatus(status ,2) }
func test() {
do {
try doGPS()
} catch is PortException{
print("Error")
} catch{
print("WTF? : \(error)")
}
}
test()
getting the same results...
So, how can I catch this error in Swift 2.1?
Here the complete code of SMPort.h https://github.com/gabebear/receiptbooth/blob/master/StarIO.framework/Headers/SMPort.h
This is a very good question! It's a legitimate issue that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, you cannot achieve this at the moment. Here is why:
Swift exception handling has nothing to do with Exceptions. In fact, you cannot catch NSException, which is what's being raised in the Obj-C side. Swift catches NSError which is practically (in Swift) an Enum. Long story short, there are two patterns for handling errors in Objective-C: 1. raising NSException 2. Returning NSError
As I explained, you cannot handle errors raised using the first approach. So, you literally, have to modify your Objective-C code to comply with the second approach, using NSError.
Some good links:

So, thanks to @Peyman and @dan, I wrote two new Objective-C files where I implemented a new method (extending the SMPort
class) that catches the error and returns an NSError
SMPort+Handler.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <StarIO/SMPort.h>
@interface SMPort ( Handler )
- (BOOL)getParsedStatusThrowing:(void *)starPrinterStatus
level:(u_int32_t)level
didFailWithError:(NSError **)error;
@end
SMPort+Handler.m
#import "SMPort+Handler.h"
@implementation SMPort ( Handler )
- (BOOL)getParsedStatusThrowing:(void *)starPrinterStatus
level:(u_int32_t)level
didFailWithError:(NSError **)error
{
@try
{
[self getParsedStatus:&starPrinterStatus :level];
return TRUE;
}
@catch (PortException *exception){
NSMutableDictionary* details = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
// exemption.name in my case should be PortExeption
[details setValue:exception.name forKey:NSLocalizedDescriptionKey];
*error = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"somedomain" code:100 userInfo:details];
return FALSE;
}
}
@end
Now, I simply do (in my Swift code):
do{
//starPort.getParsedStatus(status ,2)
try starPort.getParsedStatusThrowing(status, level: 2)
defer{
// Release the port in any case.
SMPort.releasePort(starPort)
}
}catch{
print(error)
// do staff like return
}
Thanks a lot!
