Viewing Output and Error Messages

Some scripts may output some information or error messages during execution. All output explicitly printed by the script writer goes to the script console, which is a pop-up window with one line of text. New text overrides any previous text. When the scripts complete, the window closes. If there were errors during the script execution, another window is displayed, containing information or the stack trace that was generated when the error occurred. Information and error messages are displayed by default, but you can turn them off in the user preferences.

To turn off feedback while running scripts:

1. In the taskbar, click your user name to open the User Preferences window.
2. Select the Embedded Scripting tab.
   
3. Deselect any of the following:
   • Script Console (Show) Controls whether the script console is displayed when the script executes.
   • Post Execution Message Box (Show Only on Errors) In addition to errors, displays all outputs that were produced.
   • Standard Output (Captured) Normal messages are captured. If capture is disabled, messages go to the shell on Linux. On Windows, messages are lost.
   • Standard Error (Captured) Error messages are captured. If capture is disabled, messages go to the shell on Linux. On Windows, messages are lost.
