Xrm.Page.data.save().then not calling error callback when plugin throws InvalidPluginExecutionException

Using CRM 2016 Online

I'm trying to catch the InvalidPluginExecutionException in javascript. I've seen older posts on this issue, but nothing more recent.

I have a contact plugin that throws the above exception.

The simplified plugin code is

protected void ExecuteContact(LocalPluginContext localContext)
{
  throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(OperationStatus.Failed, -2136989695,
                "My Error Message");
}

In JavaScript, I'm calling Xrm.Page.data.save().then as such

Xrm.Page.data.save().then(
  function() {
    // handle save success
    
    // Do post save stuff
  },
  function(e) {
    // handle failure
    // expect to see e.errorCode and e.message of what was set in the 
    // InvalidPluginExecutionException
  }
);

I'm expecting the error callback to be called and have the e.errorCode and e.message contain the error code and error message, but what I'm seeing is the success callback always gets called.

When I debug the plugin using the profiler (https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/crminogic/archive/2012/06/11/how-to-debug-plugins-using-profiler), I see the error callback getting called but the e.message contains the profiler debug text (which isn't surprising since we're under the profiler) and stepping through the debugger I know that the InvalidExecutionException is getting thrown.

What would cause the success handler to get called even when there is an InvalidExecutionException from the plugin?

Thanks

Hi,

Under what event the plugin is registered and which stage of plugin throws Invalid Plugin execution

Can you see if the breakpoint is going to success state once?

Thanks for responding. I had multiple plugins with various async and sync steps. I wanted to be sure that multiple plugins weren't interfering so I unregistered these plugins and created a new plugin.

All the new plugin code does is execute and throw an exception:

protected void ExecuteContact(LocalPluginContext localContext) { throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("My Error Message"); }

The good news is that the failure callback is now getting called

Xrm.Page.data.save().then( function() { // handle save success }, function(e) { // handle failure // WHA HOO!!! Handler getting called } );

Unfortunately, after the code executes in the error callback, the "Business Process Error" dialog appears.

Is there anyway to suppress this dialog? I want to be able to throw InvalidPluginExecutionException exceptions and catch them in my javascript code and not have this general crm error dialog to appear.

Is there a global setting or flag to set somewhere?

Hello,

AFAIK you can't change that behavior.

Hm.. thought there was more to that "thanks" just a minute ago.. so will just leave the comment below:

I think your last conclusion is incorrect:)

If you want to catch that error in javascript, you have to stop using "save/refresh". Instead, you need to use Web API methods to update data in CRM.

Save/Refresh methods are sort of wired to that exception, and the purpose of that "wiring" is not to let you override it, but to display the exception to the user whenever it happens.

I started a new thread and edited this thread to just "Thanks". Thank you for your reply, I guess I just wouldn't expect an api call to display a dialog for me, especially an ugly dialog that I have no control over the styling or the content.

We really should be able to suppress the dialog with saveOptions we pass to Xrm.Page.data.save(saveOptions).
