Laravel 5.2 - 处理命令中调用的命令的异常

Question

So I have a command(1) that is calling another command(1) (command 1 and 2 from here on in). However, if command 2 throws an exception it can't be caught by command 1 for some reason.

Does anyone know how to deal with exceptions on "command-ception"?

Here is my code:

public function handle()
{
    $this->client = $this->argument('client');

    try {
        // Create database
        $this->createClientDatabase();

        $this->call('migrate', [
            '--database' => $this->client,
            '--path' => 'database/migrations/aca',
        ]);

        // Import the information into the tables

    } catch (Exception $e) {
        $this->dropClientDatabase();
    }
}

To clarify, I create a database and connection on the fly but if something fails on the migration call I end up with an empty database and no way to catch the error. If something happens within $this->call() it simply dies and doesn't continue processing command 1.

So the issue was default namespacing. You need to put a backslash before Exception like so \Exception when using namespaces or at least put a use statement (use Exception;).

Because I did not do either of these it was looking for an Exception class within my current namespace and therefore wasn't catching anything.
