How to use Python to write an error to the log

How do you use Python to write to the log in the same manner you would Applescript? Can you make it red?

Like so;

Code: Select all

Script Error                    embedded script: invalid syntax

thanks,

bob

Bob, you didn't include your test script... So it's hard to see what is going wrong.... But....

indigo.server.log ("text to write to log", isError=True)

or

self.debugLog ("text to write to log", isError=True)

should work fine, depending on what your trying to do.

Ben,

Thanks for your reply. I have Python script that parses an xml file on my network. Sometimes it doesn't make the connection and I get a URLError. The error is written to the log but does not have "Script Error" title in the log. I want the script to write the error to the log as a Script Error. See my script and the error here;

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8856

thanks for any help!

See the follow up in the other thread....

Use

Code: Select all

indigo.server.log("Text in log file", "Script", isError=True)

This will cause the error log type to show up as "Script Error" in your Indigo log. I'd recommend, however, using something more specific to the script returning the error, such as "XML Reader Script Error" rather than a generic "Script Error", so that you can track which script it is returning the error.
