incorrect logging of messages in app.logger.get_messages

[nnetake]

Before submitting the issue

• I have searched among the existing issues
• I am using a Python virtual environment

Description of the bug

pyaedt_icepak.logger.get_messages works in non-graphical mode if aedt_messages = True
e.g. =
message_list = self._pyaedt_icepak.logger.get_messages(self._pyaedt_icepak.project_name, self._pyaedt_icepak.design_name, severity, aedt_messages=True)

• The above command shows different behavior in graphical and in nongraphical mode
• In graphical mode, design messages are logged to the --> message_list.design_level
• But in the non-graphical mode, design messages are logged to the --> message_list.global_level

I think this is not the desired behavior. Please comment if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Nitin

Hi @nnetake ,

Could you please provide a script to reproduce this error? otherwise we are not able to reproduce it.
Also could you please change the title?

Thanks

Hi @nnetake, thanks for your feedback.

I've tried to reproduce the bug you mentioned using your requirements, with EDT 2023.R2, and the following script:

from pyaedt import Icepak, generate_unique_folder_name, downloads, settings
import os

# Download needed files
temp_folder = generate_unique_folder_name()
package_temp_name, qfp_temp_name = downloads.download_icepak_3d_component(temp_folder)

ipk = Icepak(projectname=os.path.join(temp_folder, "Heatsink.aedt"), specified_version="2023.2", non_graphical=False,
             close_on_exit=True, new_desktop_session=True)

msg = ipk.logger.get_messages(ipk.project_name, ipk.design_name, aedt_messages=True)


assert not msg.design_level 
assert msg.global_level

However, I had no values in design_level while global_level had content. Could you please provide me a specific example that could help me reproduce the behavior you mentionned ?

Thanks,
Sébastien

[nnetake]

Hi @SMoraisAnsys, sorry for the late response.
Yes to have some content on the design level you need to add messages at the design level.
You can do by following:

ipk.odesktop.AddMessage(
            ipk.project_name, ipk.design_name, 0, "This is a test message"
        )

Once you add this message try to retrieve it in graphical and non-graphical mode. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

[SMoraisAnsys]

@nnetake Thanks for your answer :)
I'll look at it as soon as possible !

Hi @nnetake!

Thanks for your reply! :)
However in the snippet you posted you are using the native API.
Have you tried using add_message in the aedt_logger.py?

[nnetake]

@gmalinve add_messages does not work in non-graphical mode, that's why I have shared native API calls.

Here our concern is about get_messages. If we have messages at the design level, get_messages log those messages at a global level in a non-graphical model however it works correctly in graphical mode.

[gmalinve]

@nnetake which version of AEDT are you using?

[nnetake]

@gmalinve I am using 22R2.

[gmalinve]

@nnetake have you tried with at least 2023.2 to see if you have the same issue? because we are aware of some logging problems with 2022.2.

[nnetake]

@gmalinve I tested this with 23R2, it is able to log messages to design levels in nongraphical mode, however, I don't see any global messages. I think pyaedt does not log any global messages in non-graphical mode right?

[gmalinve]

Hi @nnetake. I just created a new branch to fix the logging of global messages in non graph though it won't apply to version 2022.2 because this was a bug in the native api but if you test with versions > 2023.1 it should work as expected.
