How to set job as failed if exception occurs

Hi,

I have a synthetic script that sometimes ends a run as a "broken job". I see in the documentation that this happens because of an unhandled exception.

So I added:

try:

....

     wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "username"))).click()

except Exception as e:
    print ("The script threw an exception.")

But now, the script runs and if the job has a timeout exception the job status shows as "success", but I can see in the script output that it printed "The script threw an exception."

How do I make it so that if an exception is thrown the script status shows as failed?

Thanks,

Roberto

This may not be elegant... Try to include an assertion in the exception handling to see if it works:

except Exception as e:
    print ("The script threw an exception.")
    assert False,"other exception"

 After the job ran, you will notice the session fails because of assertion failure.
