Catching maya's error message

[viru.gupta8]

hello,

i have a code where i am using try and except

ex:

try:

    do_something()

except:

    cmds.warning("some error")

this function may give some error ex: "pCube03 not found", "can't constraint pCube02"

how can we catch that error message and use that in except as warning.

Try this:

try:
    do_something()
except Exception as e:
    cmds.warning(str(e))

If that doesn't give the message you want, you can also try replacing the last line with:

cmds.warning(e.message)

You may not get it directly, but you can get it indirectly

# Begin recording the Script Editor history to a file called
# tempHistoryLog.txt in your maya directory.
cmds.scriptEditorInfo( historyFilename='D:/tempHistoryLog.txt', writeHistory=True )

When it is turned on, it will always get information 

you can find  maya help

# Suppress all warning and info messages
cmds.scriptEditorInfo(suppressWarnings=True)
cmds.scriptEditorInfo(suppressInfo=True)
maybe can help you~~
