Python Errors and Logging from Scripts

Hey.

I'm finding Indigo's python scripting increasingly frustrating as i get more advanced. wondered if anyone had any ideas of experience.

1. Scripts seem to fail silently, particularly if they are run from a file and not "embedded python'", how can i catch these errors?

2. How can i log to the indigo log in .py scripts that are in the Python3-includes folder, i can "print" which appears in the interactive console but thats as far as i've managed to get.

Thanks,

Daniel.

1. Scripts seem to fail silently, particularly if they are run from a file and not "embedded python'", how can i catch these errors?

There's a straightforward way to do this. The following script is run from a file in an Indigo action:

Code: Select all

indigo.server.log("debug", level=10)
indigo.server.log("info", level=20)
indigo.server.log("warning", level=30)
indigo.server.log("critical", level=40)
indigo.server.log("error", level=50)


2. How can i log to the indigo log in .py scripts that are in the Python3-includes folder, i can "print" which appears in the interactive console but thats as far as i've managed to get.

This example is a little bit more complex just to show what's possible. I've saved this script to the Python3-includes folder:

Code: Select all

import indigo  # required, or you'll get a syntax error
import logging

indigo.server.log("debug message", level=logging.DEBUG)
indigo.server.log("info message", level=logging.INFO)
indigo.server.log("warning message", level=logging.WARNING)
indigo.server.log("error message", level=logging.ERROR)
indigo.server.log("critical message", level=logging.CRITICAL)

EDIT: ( saved as "logging_test.py" in the includes folder, then you "import logging_test" someplace else.)
