QTP Web Extensibilty - How to force QTP to stop test execution

Question

I'm implementing an extension to QTP using the Web Extensibility Toolkit. If my JScript function that implements the QTP action encounters an error (e.g User gave wrong argument values), I want the QTP to stop the test execution and notify the user about the error. I want it to act as a normal error in QTP and ask if the user want to debug\retry\skip\stop execution.

How can I do it?

If you throw an exception with a string then the message you throw is presented in QTP like any other script error (StopRetrySkipDebug)

You should throw a JavaScript Error object so that QTP will be able to display a meaningful message:

throw Error("I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do " + action);
