GH Multi-line Runtime Messages on MacOS?

[ed.p.may]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone might know a method to do multi-line runtime messages in custom GHPython components when using Rhino and Grasshopper on Mac OS? Newline characters work fine on windows, but in Mac OS get clipped single-line messages now?

Is there a method that I should / could use to get multi-line run-time messages?
I tried using \r but that didn’t seem to do the trick here?

Thanks!

From this thread, it looks like it isn’t possible:

Line breaks in long Grasshopper component RuntimeMessages?

Hi everybody, Is it possible to introduce line breaks in long Grasshopper component RuntimeMessages - remarks, warnings, and errors -, because very long strings tend to surpass the screen width sometimes, which is annoying! import Grasshopper as gh e = "Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long error message" ghenv.Component.AddRuntimeMessage(gh.Kernel.GH_RuntimeMessageLevel.Error, e) Using \n does nothing! Any ideas? Thanks.

But this response from that thread offers an alternative:

@AndersDeleuran

I usually add multiline runtime information in the component Message (the little black tab that sticks out the bottom). It works quite well and is simple to implement.

Thanks @kev.r

That’s too bad. Thanks for the links though.

Hey @ed.p.may,

Thanks for reporting the issue! Even though it isn’t working right now, we can probably get this working the same as on Windows. I’ve filed this as RH-67580 to look into it.
