UiPath Error Handling and Debugging Flashcards

Which UiPath activity is used to catch and handle exceptions during workflow execution?

Answer: Try Catch

The Try Catch activity wraps risky code in a Try block and routes caught exceptions to matching Catch handlers or a Finally block.

What is the purpose of the 'Throw' activity in UiPath?

Answer: Intentionally raises an exception to signal an error condition

The Throw activity programmatically raises a specified exception type, allowing workflows to signal error conditions explicitly.

In UiPath debugging, what does a 'Breakpoint' do?

Answer: Pauses execution at a specific activity so you can inspect variable values

Breakpoints pause workflow execution just before the marked activity, allowing the developer to inspect the current state in the Locals panel.

Which UiPath debugging feature allows you to execute the workflow one activity at a time?

Answer: Step Into

Step Into (F11) executes one activity at a time and enters invoked workflows to trace each nested step.

What is the difference between 'Rethrow' and 'Throw' activities in UiPath?

Answer: Rethrow re-raises the currently caught exception preserving its stack trace; Throw raises a new exception

Rethrow is used inside a Catch block to re-raise the same caught exception with its original stack trace intact, while Throw creates a new exception.

Which panel in UiPath Studio shows the current value of all variables during a debugging session?

Answer: Locals Panel

The Locals panel displays all in-scope variables and their current runtime values when execution is paused at a breakpoint.
