[squeak-dev] Should InvalidDirectoryError be a Notification?

Hi all!

With InvalidDirectoryError, we have one more exception class that overrides #defaultAction to handle itself silently without bringing up a debugger. As a consequence, some tests that reproduce normal user interactions will fail for no visible reason. See DirectoryChooserDialogTest>>testChooseAbsentDirectory in polish-file-dialogs.3.cs for an example.

I am unsure how to deal with these situations: Isn't an error that doesn't bring up a debugger some kind of anti-pattern? Should we rethink the definition of this exception class?

Best,
Christoph
