Hi,

When an interactive automation script reaches a timeout, it throws a DataMinerException instead of a ScriptTimeoutException. Why does this occur?

I would expect a ScriptTimeoutException to be thrown, as this would allow for a more customized dialog message instead of the generic ‘Automation script aborted’.

hi Vasco

In case a script times out, when a UI is shown, a DataMinerException will be thrown indeed.

I’m afraid thought that, even when the exception is correctly catched, it won’t be possible to show a new dialog within the same script execution. Since the execution timed out, interaction with engine is limited.
