# Utilizing IgnoreErrors command

### **Syntax:**
`ignoreErrors(int)`

### **Purpose**
Prevents a Transaction test from failing due to an error.

### **Explanation**
This command lets you ignore errors (prevent test from ending). It takes one parameter which can be the integer 1 or 2. The parameter defines how it behaves when an error occurs:
- **1** - Ignore and do not record error
- **2** - Ignore and record error on the first failing verb of that step

###  **Supported Monitors:**
Emulated, Chrome, Mobile.

### **Examples**

#### Script expected to fail on type command - without ignoreErrors()
~~~
open("www.google.com")
waitForVisible("//input[@name='q']")  
type("//input[@name='qq']","Hello")
open("www.google.com")
~~~
#### Ignore and do not record error
~~~
