Bifrost "log_message" node does nothing

[benmorgantd]

Is there something I'm missing with log_message? I want to use it for error messaging within my bifrost rig templates, but using it as a passthrough node seems to do nothing when the graph evaluates. Is it supposed to log to the Maya script editor? Or is there some separate log somewhere. 

I'm in Maya 2026.3

you need add this into your .env so you can see them in the script editor

BIFROST_LOG_RUNTIME_MESSAGES = 1

I do not think is currently 100% stable in all cases, The error node is stable though. Is not on by default because I believe the logging  can have a negative impact on runtime performance, but try it out.

Ah! Thank you! I figured it was an environment setting I was missing. Thanks!
