Get Method name with parameters and its values on exception in Java

Question

I have a sample program as follows

public static void enterText(WebElement loc, String value) {
    try {
        loc.clear();
        System.out.println("Text cleared successfully");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // exception handling
    }
}

On executing loc.clear(), a runtime exception occurs. Is there a way I can get the method name with parameters after exception happens. I need to get this enterText(WebElement loc, String value).

You shall print the trace of the exception via this call: e.printStackTrace() inside catch block.

No..that would not give me the argument details wit which the method was invoked. – chinnu Nish Oct 04 '20 at 17:25
@chinnuNish You can print the arguments in the `catch` block if you need – Mohammed Deifallah Oct 04 '20 at 19:28

You just need to add a "print" statement in the catch block.

public static void enterText(WebElement loc, String value) {
    try {
        loc.clear();
        System.out.println("Text cleared successfully");
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.printf("ERROR: enterText( %s , %s )%n", loc, value);
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
