ExceptionCatcher

Catch Objective-C exceptions in Swift

There are many Cocoa APIs that can throw exceptions that cannot be caught in Swift (NSKeyedUnarchiver, NSTask, NSObject#value(forKey:), etc). This package wraps an Objective-C exception handler to make it possible to catch such exceptions.

The ability to catch exceptions should really be built into Swift. If you agree, duplicate this Feedback Assistant report.

Install

Add the following to Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/sindresorhus/ExceptionCatcher", from: "1.1.0")

Or add the package in Xcode.

Usage

import Foundation
import ExceptionCatcher

final class Foo: NSObject {}

do {
    let value = try ExceptionCatcher.catch {
        return Foo().value(forKey: "nope")
    }

    print("Value:", value)
} catch {
    print("Error:", error.localizedDescription)
    //=> Error: [valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key nope.

    debugPrint(error)
    /*
