Catching InvalidArgumentException in template

Question

I need to access an instance of JImage in a template and when calling

$image->getPath()

want to catch InvalidArgumentException in case the image file is not on disk.

I tried:

try{
    echo $image->getPath();
}catch (Exception $e){
    $test = 1;
}

But instead of catching the Exception the debugger always leads me to

/libraries/cms/error/page.php, function render(Exception $error)

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

get->Path() method actually does not throw an Exception, so you can not catch it. InvalidArgumentException is thrown in loadFile() method, so may be you should use it for your check.
