You are throwing PHP's generic Exception

throw new \Exception("My exception");

but you catch the Exception from the current namespace

} catch (Exception $e) {

use \Exception;

above your class to import the global Exception into the current namespace or

} catch (\Exception $e) {

to catch PHP's global Exception.
