Tasks: Show any print statements/add messages, etc. when viewing details.

AlfredBaldenweck

As I've written about here, I'm having a hard time figuring out why my portal tasks are failing.

I would like to be able to read any messages created during the tasks run to better debug it.

For example, I'd like to see all of the following:

• print statements
• arcpy.AddMessage
• arcpy.AddWarning
• arcpy.AddError
• general exception/error messages

As it currently stands, all you get when you go to view a task's details is the run and whether or not it succeeded.

The Results button does nothing.

Please give us more details when a task runs so we can better troubleshoot. In my case, the tool runs great when it's not scheduled and is run manually, so having a way to figure out what went wrong would be great.

Thank you.

Assuming you have ensured the "INFO" level messages have been configured for troubleshooting, you should be able to see the messages you added using 

• arcpy.AddMessage
• arcpy.AddWarning
• arcpy.AddError

To configure messages settings, you can access the server manager and configure from there.

Depending on the version of your ArcGIS Enterprise, you can either modify the link provided in the Result link, or the link of the Status which should shows as a hyperlink of "Failed" in your case, and remove the "Result" part if necessary so you can see the job URL.

Regardless, you can always utilize the jobs API, documented at /[taskID]/runs: Runs for Task | ArcGIS REST APIs | Esri Developer to query individual runs of your task.
