Does anyone know how to return a value from a transaction while having a try/catch to handle errors? I posted about in this issue here, because the only way I've found to work around this is by having a separate variable and assigning to that, which is pretty gross.

var a = -1
newSuspendedTransaction {
    try {
        a = Users.insert {
            it[username] = model.username
        } get Users.userId
    } catch (e: Exception){

    }
}

return a

Any ideas as to how I can return the value from the transaction while also handling error? I've tried handling the error outside the transaction, but for some reason, transactions don't let errors bubble up

Did you try to commit transaction before end of try block like adviced here?
