Hi, I'm trying to write usd via ROP USD Output Node. The problem is when there is an
error during archive generation. It sends no info to console, the real cause
of node cooking failure can only be observed when i click on red dot on this node and watch logs.
Is there any builtin option to write log to console stdout on workitem cooking?

Hi,

In the documentation on environment variables, you can find several variables that are responsible for the desired level of logging during cooking. For example, HOUDINI_PDG_NODE_DEBUG, HOUDINI_PDG_WORK_ITEM_DEBUG, HOUDINI_PDG_SCHEDULER_DEBUG, etc.

Thanks for reply, i've tested theese env variables and they definetly gave more extended output,
but still not print error messages which can be accessed via double clicking red dot work item on failed node.

Perhaps this thread will help you
