I want to catch the error form Artisan::call() method. For example if i don't have data in table migrations and when i run Artisan::call('migrate:make'); i get error Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'users' already exists in log file.
I try to use try catch, but it doesn't work.
try {
Artisan::call('migrate:make');
} catch (Exception $e){
report($e);
Mail::to(config('mail.supportEmail'))->send(new UserProblemMail($data, "Migrate error"));
return response()->json([
"message" => "Error occured. Suport team will contact with you."
], 500);
}
How do this properly?
Here is my way to handle this situation.
try{
DB::beginTransaction();
Artisan::call('migrate');
$artisanOutput = Artisan::output();
if (in_array("Error", str_split($artisanOutput, 5))) {
throw new Exception($artisanOutput);
}
DB::commit();
dd("Deployed Successfully", ['Artisan output' => $artisanOutput]);
} catch (Exception | Error $e) {
DB::rollback();
dd($e->getMessage());
}
you can use this command to catch output :
Artisan::call('migrate:make');
dd(Artisan::output());
DB::beginTransaction();
try{
//my logic
if(bad logic) throw new \Exception();
DB::commit();
return true;
}catch (\Exception $e) {
DB::rollback();
return false;
}
So what will happen if bad logic throws new exception? DB::commit() will not be called, so recored will not be saved in database. So why the hell I need to write DB:rollback() at all?
I use Yii and recently started using Transactions with try / catch blocks.
Here's how the code looks right now:
$dbConnection = Yii::app()->db();
try {
$transaction = $dbConnection->beginTransaction();
$dbConnection->createCommand("SELECT * from table_1")
->queryAll();
$transaction->commit();
} catch (Exception $ex) {
$transaction->rollback();
}
Suppose there's an exception with the DB (it's come up while unit-testing), I'm unable to rollback because the PHP dies with a fatal $transaction undefined error.
I'd rather not include isset() checks everywhere..
Is there a simpler way to make this work?
You can check if the exception is an instance of CDbException
$dbConnection = Yii::app()->db();
try {
$transaction = $dbConnection->beginTransaction();
$dbConnection->createCommand("SELECT * from table_1")
->queryAll();
$transaction->commit();
} catch (Exception $ex) {
if ($ex instanceof CDbException)
{
// handle CDBException
// ...
}
$transaction->rollback();
}
We all use DB::transaction() for multiple insert queries. In doing so, should a try...catch be placed inside it or wrapping it? Is it even necessary to include a try...catch when a transaction will automatically fail if something goes wrong?
Sample try...catch wrapping a transaction:
// try...catch
try {
// Transaction
$exception = DB::transaction(function() {
// Do your SQL here
});
if(is_null($exception)) {
return true;
} else {
throw new Exception;
}
}
catch(Exception $e) {
return false;
}
The opposite, a DB::transaction() wrapping a try...catch:
// Transaction
$exception = DB::transaction(function() {
// try...catch
try {
// Do your SQL here
}
catch(Exception $e) {
return $e;
}
});
return is_null($exception) ? true : false;
Or simply a transaction w/o a try...catch
// Transaction only
$exception = DB::transaction(function() {
// Do your SQL here
});
return is_null($exception) ? true : false;
In the case you need to manually 'exit' a transaction through code (be it through an exception or simply checking an error state) you shouldn't use DB::transaction() but instead wrap your code in DB::beginTransaction and DB::commit/DB::rollback():
DB::beginTransaction();
try {
DB::insert(...);
DB::insert(...);
DB::insert(...);
DB::commit();
// all good
} catch (\Exception $e) {
DB::rollback();
// something went wrong
}
See the transaction docs.
If you use PHP7, use Throwable in catch for catching user exceptions and fatal errors.
For example:
DB::beginTransaction();
try {
DB::insert(...);
DB::commit();
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
DB::rollback();
throw $e;
}
If your code must be compartable with PHP5, use Exception and Throwable:
DB::beginTransaction();
try {
DB::insert(...);
DB::commit();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
DB::rollback();
throw $e;
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
DB::rollback();
throw $e;
}
You could wrapping the transaction over try..catch or even reverse them,
here my example code I used to in laravel 5,, if you look deep inside DB:transaction() in Illuminate\Database\Connection that the same like you write manual transaction.
Laravel Transaction
public function transaction(Closure $callback)
{
$this->beginTransaction();
try {
$result = $callback($this);
$this->commit();
}
catch (Exception $e) {
$this->rollBack();
throw $e;
} catch (Throwable $e) {
$this->rollBack();
throw $e;
}
return $result;
}
so you could write your code like this, and handle your exception like throw message back into your form via flash or redirect to another page. REMEMBER return inside closure is returned in transaction() so if you return redirect()->back() it won't redirect immediately, because the it returned at variable which handle the transaction.
Wrap Transaction
try {
$result = DB::transaction(function () use ($request, $message) {
// execute query 1
// execute query 2
// ..
});
// redirect the page
return redirect(route('account.article'));
} catch (\Exception $e) {
return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['error' => $e->getMessage()]);
}
then the alternative is throw boolean variable and handle redirect outside transaction function or if your need to retrieve why transaction failed you can get it from $e->getMessage() inside catch(Exception $e){...}
I've decided to give an answer to this question because I think it can be solved using a simpler syntax than the convoluted try-catch block. The Laravel documentation is pretty brief on this subject.
Instead of using try-catch, you can just use the DB::transaction(){...} wrapper like this:
// MyController.php
public function store(Request $request) {
return DB::transaction(function() use ($request) {
$user = User::create([
'username' => $request->post('username')
]);
// Add some sort of "log" record for the sake of transaction:
$log = Log::create([
'message' => 'User Foobar created'
]);
// Lets add some custom validation that will prohibit the transaction:
if($user->id > 1) {
throw AnyException('Please rollback this transaction');
}
return response()->json(['message' => 'User saved!']);
});
};
You should see that in this setup the User and the Log record cannot exist without eachother.
Some notes on the implementation above:
Make sure to return anything the transaction, so that you can use the response() you return within its callback as the response of the controller.
Make sure to throw an exception if you want the transaction to be rollbacked (or have a nested function that throws the exception for you automatically, like any SQL exception from within Eloquent).
The id, updated_at, created_at and any other fields are AVAILABLE AFTER CREATION for the $user object (for the duration of this transaction at least). The transaction will run through any of the creation logic you have. HOWEVER, the whole record is discarded when SomeCustomException is thrown. An auto-increment column for id does get incremented though on failed transactions.
Tested on Laravel 5.8
I'm using Laravel 8 and you should wrap the transaction in a try-catch as follows:
try {
DB::transaction(function () {
// Perform your queries here using the models or DB facade
});
}
catch (\Throwable $e) {
// Do something with your exception
}
in laravel 8, you can use DB::transaction in try-catch.
for example :
try{
DB::transaction(function() {
// do anything
});
}
catch(){
// do anything
}
if each of query be failed on try, the catch block be run.
First: using PostgreSQL database in Laravel makes things more tricky.
If you don't rollback after a transaction error, each futher queries will throw this error In failed sql transaction: ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block. So if you can't save original error message in a table BEFORE the rollback.
try {
DB::beginTransaction(); //start transaction
$user1 = User::find(1);
$user1->update(['money' => 'not_a_number']); //bad update
}
catch(Exception $exception) {
$user2 = User::find(2); // ko, "In failed sql transaction" error
$user2->update(['field' => 'value']);
}
try {
DB::beginTransaction(); //start transaction
$user1 = User::find(1);
$user1->update(['money' => 'not_a_number']); //bad update
}
catch(Exception $exception) {
DB::rollBack();
$user2 = User::find(2); // ok, go on
$user2->update(['field' => 'value']);
}
Second: pay attention to Eloquent model attributes system.
Eloquent model keeps changed attributes after an update error, so if we want to update that model inside the catch block, we need to discard bad attributes. This isn't a dbtransaction affair, so the rollback command is useless.
try {
DB::beginTransaction(); //start transaction
$user1 = User::find(1);
$user1->update(['money' => 'not_a_number']); //bad update
}
catch(Exception|Error $exception) {
DB::rollBack();
$user1->update(['success' => 'false']); // ko, bad update again
}
try {
DB::beginTransaction(); //start transaction
$user1 = User::find(1);
$user1->update(['money' => 'not_a_number']); //bad update
}
catch(Exception|Error $exception) {
DB::rollBack();
$user1->discardChanges(); // remove attribute changes from model
$user1->update(['success' => 'false']); // ok, go on
}
I am trying to implement transactions to Kohana but it seems to be not so easy as in Spring/Java.
So far I found this code to try but I don't know how to replace the part (no errors)
DB::query('START TRANSACTION');
// sql queries with query builder..
if (no errors)
DB::query('COMMIT');
else
DB::query('ROLLBACK');
How do I make the if clause?
Normally transactions are handled as such:
DB::query('START TRANSACTION');
try {
//do something
DB::query('COMMIT');
} catch (Exception $e) {
DB::query('ROLLBACK');
}
What this means is if everything succeeds within the try block, great. If any part of it fails then it won't reach the commit and will jump to the catch block, which contains the rollback. You can add more error handling within the catch if you wish, even throw a new exception of your own or throw the same exception you caught.
Just wrap everything in a try/catch block:
DB::query('START TRANSACTION');
try {
// sql queries with query builder..
DB::query('COMMIT');
} catch (Database_Exception $e) {
DB::query('ROLLBACK');
}
DB errors are converted to exceptions:
DB::query('START TRANSACTION');
try {
// sql queries with query builder..
DB::query('COMMIT');
}
catch($e)
{
$this->template->body = new View('db_error');
$this->template->body->error = 'An error occurred ...';
DB::query('ROLLBACK');
}
If you're using Kohana 3:
$db = Database::instance();
$db->begin();
try
{
// Do your queries here
$db->commit();
}
catch (Database_Exception $e)
{
$db->rollback();
}
