Research direction

Start by tracing the call to ELFunction and the point where the runtime exception becomes "error invoking function 'test'". Check how the exception is propagated or formatted, then verify that the original message, such as "my error", is available in the resulting error information.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A runtime exception may be thrown during a call to ELFunction, how do I get the error message given by the runtime exception?

example:

    public void test() {
        // doSomething
        throw new RuntimeException("my error");
        // dosomething
    }

How do I get the error message “my eroor”?

At the moment I can only get the error message:
error invoking function 'test'
missing the error message I gave
