AuthorizationException not handled in Handler.php Laravel - php

Question

Hello I have a problem with exception handler in Laravel 5.4.
I have in my controller a function that make a check for permission like:
function foo(){
try{
$this->authorize("bar", MyClass::class);
}catch(AuthorizationException $e){
}
}
In my handler.php I have this:
namespace App\Exceptions;
use Exception;
use Illuminate\Auth\AuthenticationException;
use Illuminate\Auth\Access\AuthorizationException;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
protected $dontReport = [
\Illuminate\Auth\AuthenticationException::class,
\Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException::class,
\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException::class,
\Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException::class,
\Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException::class,
];
public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
if ($exception instanceof AuthorizationException) {
if ($request->expectsJson()) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized.'], 403);
}
// TODO: Redirect to error page instead
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
}
But the problem is that handler is never called.
But If I do:
function foo(){
try{
throw new AuthorizationException() //test for throw exception
$this->authorize("bar", MyClass::class);
}catch(AuthorizationException $e){
}
}
It will call handler.
So Can I handler AuthorizationException with $this->authorize ?

For Now I've resolve in this way:
I created a Custom class that extends AuthorizationException like:
namespace App\Exceptions;
namespace Illuminate\Auth\Access;
use Throwable;
class CustomAuthorizationException extends AuthorizationException
{
public function __construct($message = "", $code = 0, Throwable $previous = null)
{
throw new AuthorizationException();
}
}
And In Controller:
function foo(){
try{
$this->authorize("bar", MyClass::class);
}catch(CustomAuthorizationException $e){
}
}
And now it works, but I don't know if It is a good way.
The advices are well accepted!
