Error / Warning Not Showing

[amitkhanna]

Hi there,

I have this problem, not so big a problem but bugs me from time to time.
I have a window where I have a few menus. I have attached commands to menuItems.

Now the problem is, whenever a command is run by clicking menuItem I get this text output in the script editor and in the command feedback bar AFTER my outputs.

editMenuUpdate MayaWindow|mainEditMenu;

Now incase I have any errors caught and displayed, they do not show up in the command Feedback area because this is what i get :

// some error //
editMenuUpdate MayaWindow|mainEditMenu; <<<< this becomes the last line or a blank line maybe.

its the same with the print command.

Any idea on how to show MY ERROR WARNINGS the last so that if a person is using my script he sees the error in red in command feedback rather than seeing nothing.

any feedback is appreciated,
Thanks a lot.

use error or warning in the same way you would print. Echo'ing all commands should also show the error. The problem is that mel will print an error and identify the calling function as the culprit. Since your commands are being called via a menu, it identifies the menu callback as the problem unless you explicitly say what went wrong in your script.

Hi there,

I think I found the problem. Robe iam using "error" and also tried "print" but the problem really is with "Echo all commands".

If it is turned ON it echo's menu's opening and closing...but when i turn it OFF i get what i have in the script, whethere it be error or print command then.

Anyways thanks ,
