ilogic Log , get code Line?

Curtis_W — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 18:38:03 GMT

Is there some way to have the code line of a rule show up in the iLogic Log ? (without having to add it manually)

Something like this where "Current.Line" would just return the line the Debug line is on?

The goal here would be to see the last line number before an error occurred... something like this:

Even better would be to be able to see the line of code that creates the error in the error message, something like this:

Thanks!

Hi Curtis,

It might be possible to show the line number with the error message in a future version.

There is an alternative that works now: you can debug errors in Visual Studio. That will bring you right to the line in a slightly modified version of the rule.

ok, well when I was looking at the iLogic Log tools, and it seemed so obvious to me that grabbing the code line would provide some extremely helpful ability, that I thought maybe I was just missing something...

but yes if we could get the line of code that causes an error in the error message, it would be helpful too.

thanks for the reply!

HI MjDeck,
Do we have update on this?
Thank you.

if you want to write the line number to the logger. you can create a function that will give you the line number. You would get something like this:

Sub Main()
    ' your rule code here 
    Logger.Info(LineNumber() & ": Foo")
    ' and more rule code here
End Sub

Private Shared Function LineNumber(<Runtime.CompilerServices.CallerLineNumber> ByVal Optional lineNumberCaller As Integer = 0) As String
        ' the number 2 here is the difference between the line number 
	' in your rule and the code that is actual run. You might need
	' to tweak this number in your inventor version
	Return lineNumberCaller - 2
End Function

Thanks @JelteDeJong , that is useful.

@floccipier , there is no progress yet on the ability to show the line number in the error message. This is internal issue number INVGEN-53774.

If you have Visual Studio, you can debug iLogic rules.

@MjDeck

I am using VS to debug the code and I must say it is impressive.

@Curtis_W , @floccipier , and @JelteDeJong : Inventor 2022.2 will show the line number in error messages.
