MANUAL / SCRIPTING & EXPRESSIONS

Script Console

The panel that lists each script run, what it printed, how many changes it made and its error.

What it does

The Script Console lists every Brio Script run, newest first: what it printed ($.writeln, $.write, alert), how many changes it made, how long it took, and its error with the line number. Runs are kept while the panel is closed and reopened.

Open it with File ▸ Scripts ▸ Script Console. It also opens by itself when you run a script.

Reading a run

  • A coloured dot shows the state: running, failed, or finished.
  • The status reads running…, N changes · 0.00 s, no changes, or stopped after N changes.
  • Error (line N): … — the script threw. Nothing it did is applied.
  • Not in Brio Script: … — the script used something Brio Script doesn't have.
