How to check if a new node is correctly created using Entity Metadata Wrapper $wrapper->save()?

Question

I'm programmatically creating a new node using Entity Metadata Wrapper.

How to check if last instruction:

$ewrapper->save();

creates correctly the new node without errors?

Check that the entity has an identifier:

if ($ewrapper->getIdentifier()) { // Save happened. }

A better approach might be handling any errors:

try { $ewrapper->save(); // Try to do something with $ewrapper->getIdentifier() } catch (\Exception $e) { // Recover... }
