GetMessages() in Pro not helpful

ChrisSnyder — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 18:26:41 GMT

Finally dabbling in porting some geoprocessing scripts to Pro.

But... one of my 1st complainants is that arcpy.GetMessages() used to return pretty robust info in Desktop. For example, the buffer tool in Desktop would give something like:

Executing: Buffer D:\csny490\lidar_derivatives\processing_data\rs_hydro_processing\tile_2\tile_2.gdb\sl_trans D:\csny490\lidar_derivatives\processing_data\rs_hydro_processing\tile_2\tile_2.gdb\sl_trans_buff BUFF_DIST FULL ROUND NONE # PLANAR
Start Time: Wed Mar 6 09:20:33 2019
Succeeded at Wed Mar 6 09:20:43 2019 (Elapsed Time: 10.00 seconds)

Now in Pro, it just yields:

"Start Time: Wednesday, March 13, 2019 11:14:49 AM
Succeeded at Wednesday, March 13, 2019 11:14:50 AM (Elapsed Time: 10.31 seconds)"

Maybe there is some setting I am missing, or... Any insights?!?

at the bottom after a tool's run, right click and select 'View Details'... your inputs etc are listed there and the messages are separated.

I just generate my own messages as I go along if I need something extra

Thanks Dan, but I mean more in the context of a log file for a geoprocessing script. Tool name, parameters, etc...

Basically I used to get this in Desktop:

Sad!

This change not documented in the help as far as I can see. I'd log an incident request.
