We have many errors for several eps files and have written several scripts to work properly with manual execution. But some eps files have no errors.

How to write if there is an error on the open illustrator document.

There is no global onError event handler or "error" event listener which will do what I think you want.

Sorry @javithj89048510

 

Please imagine that you do not know how these files were created and how they are structured. And please also imagine that you do not know what the scripts do (or should do), how and in which script language they are written, nor what error messages there are or are not. You know neither the Illustrator version nor the operating system.

 

Please read your post again from this point of view.

    I suggest this solution: use the try-catch statement to wrap the script!

     

    try {

      function myScript () {

        throw new Error("It was a failed script :(");

      }

      myScript();

    } catch (e) {

      alert(e.message);

    }
