Translating exception messages
  • Hi, How should I translate exception messages?
    Example:
    <code>
    try
    {
    $user = \Auth::create_user(
    \Input::post('username'),
    \Input::post('password'),
    \Input::post('email'),
    \Input::post('group')
    );
    }
    catch (Exception $e)
    {
    // set translated $e->getMessage()
    }
    </code> The problem is that \Auth::create_user always throws the same exception object SimpleUserUpdateException only with the different message: <code>
    throw new \SimpleUserUpdateException('Email address already exists');
    throw new \SimpleUserUpdateException('Username already exists');
    </code> So it looks like the only way to decide what was the error is by checking message: <code>
    if($e->getMessage == 'Email address already exists')
    \Session::set_flash('error', __('auth.exception.email_exists'));
    elseif($e->getMessage == 'Username already exists')
    \Session::set_flash('error', __('auth.exception.username_exists'));
    </code> But that just doesn't look right.
    Any suggestions how should I do it the right way?
  • You have a point, this is not handy, these should be separate exceptions. Can you create an issue at http://github.com/fuel/auth/issues so it can be picked up?
