Handling menu :filter function failures with condition-case

Thursday, 10 February 2005

I cant find a way to handle menu generation(by :filter function)
errors.

For example i have a command:

    (defun my-cmd ()
      (interactive)
      (popup-menu (list "test0"
      		         :filter (lambda (a)
    			           (/ nil 0)))))

I specially added an error condition in :filter.

and here is how i tried to handle this error

    (condition-case nil
        (call-interactively 'my-cmd)
      (nil (message "menu failed")))

But this did not worked as i expected it to work.

The thing that i have pretty complicated :filter functions for menus
and they easily can fail, and i need a way to handle such failures.

Thanks!
