This package lets you easily see errors and warnings in the Maya console.

it's quite simple, e.g. the line // https://www.autodesk.com/maya-arnold-not-available-error will be colored as an error

install

You can use either of the following installation methods

Plug-in version

• Edit your environment variables to add the plug-ins folder to your list of plugin locations. This can be done by adding the plug-ins folder location (for example C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\maya-script-editor-highlighter\src\plug-ins, or wherever you decided to put it) to the MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH environment variable.

userSetup.py version

• Edit your environment variables to add the scripts folder to your list of scripts locations. This can be done by adding the scripts folder location (for example C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\maya-script-editor-highlighter\src\scripts, or wherever you decided to put it) to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.

Usage

1. Enable the highlight plugin (if you chose the plug-in version)
2. Open script editor.
3. It won't work until you get focus on the script editor, this means you'll need to activate focus on a different part of the GUI, then back on the script editor. To do this, simply click on the viewport then back on the script editor.
