Hi - How do I throw an exception?
In that I want to to write;
`if( myVar = 2) {`
    `throw("myVar = 2. It should never be 2");`
`}`

But it fails - because it isn't in a try/catch.
Only - I don't want to catch it.
I want it to blow up the request.

I have no clue what you're asking, but
```if( myVar = 2) ```
should be
```if( myVar == 2) ```

Thanks <@U06V253M4>
My issue wasn't the IF - that was just poor typing, here, in SLACK.

I was thinking my issue was that I HAD TO use throw() WITHIN try/catch and I didn't want to.
I wanted to create an "unhandled" exception.

And so trying to JUST use throw() in the IF - without the try/catch - was a the problem I was trying to solve - as my code wouldn't compile.

But the issue was the syntax I was using in the throw() - NOT the fact that it was / wasn't in a try/catch block.

That's why it's important for you to share the exact code you are using and the exact error you receive when you run it rather than just saying "it fails" :slightly_smiling_face:

In my defence:
The docs state;
`Throws a developer-specified exception, which can be caught with a &lt;cfcatch&gt; tag`

And because I was trying to use throw without the try/catch - I "assumed" - that was my issue.
Especially since all the examples include a try/catch, too.

It never occurred to me that I wasn't using the correct argument.

Anyway - thanks again!
