Laravel Exception - laravel

Question

I want to create Customs Exceptions, and I want to catch and manage them in the controller. But I can't do it.
For example
use Exception;
class MyException extends Exception
{
}
in the controller
public function myFuncion($request){
try{
exceptFunction();
} catch(MyException $e){
repairIt();
}
}
private function exceptFunction(){
throw new MyException('f*ck');
}
The problem here is the code in catch is never executed! Always Laravel send me to the handler! I want to catch and manage the exception by my way in the controller!
I hope you can help (and teach) me.
Thanks

My Exception Class

use Exception;
class CajaSaldoException extends Exception

Whenever you want to catch an exception, make sure you are referencing the correct exception in the catch block.
So either, you would reference the FQCN of the class like this
try {
} catch(\App\Exceptions\CustomException $exception) {
}
Or, you would add your use statement at the top of your class
use App\Exceptions\CustomException;
try {
} catch(CustomException $exception) {
}
In your particular case, what is happening is, you are trying to catch a \App\Exceptions\CustomException without adding the use statements.
try {
} catch(CustomException $exception) {
}
What happens in this case is, your code block is looking to catch a App\Http\Controllers\CajaMovimientoController\CustomException exception.
Since it can't find it, the exception is then handled by Laravel as a general exception. Read more about namespaces.
