Hello, I can't access to message property of exception's object. Is in normal?

My simple code:

  #SiteController.php
  #I changed errorHandler action to site/error in configurations.
  public function actionError()
  {
    $this->layout = 'container';
    if (\Yii::$app->exception !== null) {
      return $this->render('error', ['exception' => \Yii::$app->exception]);
    }
  }

  public function actionPage($view = 'index')
  {
    try {
      return $this->render('site/page/'.$view);
    } catch (InvalidParamException $e) {
      throw new HttpException(404, 'Страница не найдена');
    }
  }

When I go to nonexist page, I get the following:

yii\web\HttpException Object
(
    [statusCode] => 404
    [message:protected] => Страница не найдена #custom message naturally inaccessible

It means that I can't insert $exception->message into view file.

It's been a while... But is it really necessary @samdark? I think the link to PHP docs in inheritance section is enough.

• https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-base-exception.
• https://www.php.net/class.exception.

Otherwise we need to discuss what's exactly needs to be done here.
