Any way to record warnings from the script editor?

[ashishdantu]

hi sheffdog,

have a look at environment variable :MAYA_CMD_FILE_OUTPUT

from the help docs -
"This variable enables the cmdFileOutput command during startup so the content in the script editor automatically outputs to a designated file. If no file name is specified, then errors are sent to the standard error output, for example the Terminal window. This feature is useful for tracking down error messages when Maya crashes upon startup"

in your mel script where you think you have the catch statements or at the beginning of you script, use

cmdScrollFieldReporter -e -clear $gCommandReporter; // clear the history
scriptEditorInfo -wh 1 -historyFilename "c:/myScriptEditorLog.txt";

this will enable the commandWindow to write the history to the specified txt file.
and then at the end of your script have :
scriptEditorInfo -wh 0; to disable the writing to this txt file.

this way you capture only the required history and then you can read this txt file, process for only warnings or error statements for later viewing.
