How to catch exception in controller in Laravel?

Question

In my controller i need to test custom database connection and if it's bad return an error. The problem is that catch block doesn't work... I get an exception message which is globally defined in app/start/global.php.

try {
    DB::connection('test');
} catch (Exception $e) {
    dd('error');
}

@Random as i said it doesn't work. When connection is bad it should show error message from dd, but it just throws original laravel exception — Kin

it may have an error_handler. maybe DB::connection throws an error (so no exception), and Laravel catches it to end it its own way... can you see what is the error handler ? — Random

@Random "type":"PDOException","message":"SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused", — Kin

Laravel handles exceptions, no need for try/catch. You can write a custom exception inside \App\Exceptions and customise the contents of App\Exceptions\Handler.php to format the response of any individual exception to meet your needs.
