pymel.core.general.commandLogging¶

commandLogging(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command controls logging of Maya commands, in memory and on disk. Note that if commands are logged in memory, they will be available to the crash reporter and appear in crash logs. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
historySize / hs		int
	Sets the number of entries in the in-memory command history.
logCommands / lc		bool
	Enables or disables the on-disk logging of commands.
logFile / lf		unicode
	Sets the filename to use for the on-disk log. If logging is active, the current file will be closed before the new one is opened.
recordCommands / rc		bool
	Enables or disables the in-memory logging of commands.
resetLogFile / rl		bool
	Reset the log filename to the default (‘mayaCommandLog.txt’ in the application folder, alongside ‘Maya.env’ and the default projects folder). Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.commandLogging

Example:

::

import pymel.core as pm

# Set the number of commands logged in memory to 20 # pm.commandLogging( historySize=20 )

# Query the number of commands being logged in memory # pm.commandLogging( q=True, historySize=True ) # Result: 20 # # Result: 20

# Query the log file location # pm.commandLogging( q=True, logFile=True ) # Result: u’C:/Users/paulm/maya_pymel_test/mayaCommandLog.txt’ # # Result: C:/Users/foobar/Documents/maya/mayaCommandLog.txt

# Change the log file location # pm.commandLogging( logFile=’C:/temp/log.txt’ )

# Reset the log file to default # pm.commandLogging( resetLogFile=True )
