Logs in compute

Hi!
This post is directly related to this one but it didn’t get answers.
I have three questions concerning the way the logs work on compute:

  • Is there a way to find these logs for the distant server? They appear in the command prompt window on local server but i can’t seem to find the right logs folder.
  • I have a few examples where components have a different behaviour whether they are run with the GH GUI or on a compute server (even local). Is this a known issue?
  • Is there a way to make the errors that appear in red non blocking the way it is with the GUI? In the GUI when i have a red error it just blocks the downstream but what’s non dependant on the component still runs, on compute it just blocks the whole process: is there a way to change that in the parameters?

Thanks in advance, best

Hi!
Anybody has an idea about that please, @AndyPayne maybe?
Thanks :slight_smile:

The logs on a production server (ie. VM) can be found at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\rhino.compute\logs

You would need to provide an example file for us to be able to see what’s going on.

Rhino.Compute should try to return any data that it can even if an error is found. However, you have a bunch of errors in that console output, which means that likely no data is winding up at the end of your definition to be returned by Rhino.Compute. I think you will need to figure out why those errors are occurring. Most of them look like they have “failed to collect data” errors which can sometimes occur if you are trying to reference some geometry from a document. Remember, Rhino.Compute is a headless environment which means there is no document to get data from… So you would likely need to pass any referenced geometry in as a parameter, or internalize the geometry for those references.

Hi @AndyPayne,
Thanks for your replies. I’ll try to answer each one of your questions separately.

  1. About the logs

This is not exactly the same: i get templates about the launch of Grasshopper

While i’m looking for something the logs both the launch and specific events, as seen here on my local compute server. Do i miss something?

  1. Different behaviours.

I’ll let you know when i get some more, but i already have a simple example of a component acting differently with or without the GUI here with the issue of a panel not being able to be converted to a float in compute.

  1. Rhino compute returning nothing

Except if i miss something, the compute server doesn’t return anything, and i am well aware of the need to internalize geometries, we are using this on a few models :slightly_smiling_face:. Please see example below: with the GUI, i do have the cubes correspondig to first object appearing.

With the appserver requesting the local server, here’s what i get in the browser (and no “Object” returned as when it works):

This corresponds to this error in the compute cmd interface:

Hope my answers are clear, feel free to ask for any precision, this is a big topic for us.
