Python API Dataiku Exceptions import/reference

[JohnB]

If I want to trap a specific exception that gets raised when using the Python API, how do I import that exception to use in the try..except block?

Specifically, I want to trap this:

com.dataiku.common.server.APIError$SerializedErrorException

Hi,

"SerializedErrorException" is a generic exception that indicates that something wrong happened in your call on the server side

All such server side issues are thrown as a DataikuException object. You cannot specifically except on a specific exception, so you'd need to parse the message of the DataikuException itself depending on what exactly you are trying to achieve.

 Hi Clément,

Thanks for the response. This is in relation to a support ticket  #26358.

Looking how to trap the exception so that we can retry the query. We usually avoid trapping the generic "Exception" exception.
