Can I redirect the stdout and stderr pipes to a file?

Hi, All,

Glad to find that there is a specific forum to discuss InDesign Server.

I'm wondering how to redirect the stdout and stderr pipes of InDesign Server to a file. Any ideas?

Thanks very much.

Hi Nicole,

If you're starting the server at the command line you can redirect the output to a file by doing this:

indesignserver.com > output.txt

On the Mac side you can redirect stdout and stderr separately:

(indesignserver > output.txt) >& error.txt

Oh, and it's also possible to get at some of the information from a script, there's an errorListErrors (JS: app.errorListErrors.item(i).listErrorMessage)

Thanks Paul.

I want to handle errors in javascript, but my script always terminates when meeting errors. How can I catch errors in script without stoping it? Any tips? Thank you very much.

Thanks for sharing this, it helped my project in js well.

The only for catching the error is latest library.

You should be able to use try...catch blocks where you expect errors and know how to handle them and continue on. This should work just as is does for running JavaScripts against the desktop product.
