Failure Handling Options Help (Warning Suppression)

[L.Cunningham]

I’m trying to suppress the errors that arise when you automatically publish coordinates, via transaction failure handling options.

Python Script...

clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")

clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

# Import DSCore nodes in Dynamo
clr.AddReference('DSCoreNodes')

#Preparing input from dynamo to revit

result = []
#Do some action in a Transaction

projSite = None
projLocName = None

ProLoc = UnwrapElement(IN[1])
orgin = XYZ(0, 0, 0)
projPos = ProLoc.get_ProjectPosition(orgin)
projLocName = ProLoc.Name

trigger = True
#TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
for rvtLinkInstance in rvtLinkInstances:
	linkdoc = rvtLinkInstance.GetLinkDocument()
	linkdocpath = linkdoc.PathName
	message = "Project Location of specific name already exist"
	message3 = "Project Location of specific name already exist"

		else: continue
	if trigger:
		t = Transaction(newdoc, "Create Project Location")
		t.Start()
		try: 
			newloc = currentLinkLocation.Duplicate(projLocName)
			newloc.set_ProjectPosition(orgin,projPos)
			newlocsite = newloc.GetSiteLocation()
			newlocsite.Latitude = projSiteLat
			newlocsite.Longitude = projSiteLong
			newlocsite.TimeZone = projSiteTimeZ
			#newloc = ProjectLocation.Create(newdoc, projSite.Id, projLocName)
			message = "Project Location successfully duplicated/created"
			t.Commit()
		except Exception as e: 
			message = "Could not create project location due to: " + str(e)
			t.RollBack() 
	newdoc.Close()
	rvtlinktype.Reload() 
	result.append(message)
	
#Publish newloc 

for rvtLinkInstance in rvtLinkInstances:

			t = Transaction(doc, "Publish Project Location")
			fho = FailureHandlingOptions.SetDelayedMiniWarnings(True)
			t.SetFailureHandlingOptions(fho)
			t.Start()
			try: 
				doc.PublishCoordinates(LinkElementId(rvtLinkInstance.Id,Linklocation.Id))
				message2 = "Project Location successfully published"
				t.Commit()
			except Exception as e: 
				message2 = "Could not publish project location due to: " + str(e)
				t.RollBack() 
		else: continue	
	result.append(message2)

#TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
#Final output
debug = False
#debug = True#Comment to turn off
if debug:
	OUT=['orgin: ', orgin, 'projPos: ' , projPos, 'projLocName: ', projLocName, 'projPosEW: ', projPosEW, 'projPosNS: ', projPosNS, 'projPosEl: ', projPosEl, 'projPosAngle: ', projPosAngle,'projSite: ', projSite, 'projSiteLat: ' , projSiteLat, 'projSiteLong: ' , projSiteLong, 'projSiteTimeZ: ', projSiteTimeZ, 'result: ', result]

else:
	OUT = result

My issue is that I have no idea what the second argument for this method is, it isn’t listed on the SetDelayedMiniWarnings Method site.

Am I creating my FailureHandlingOptions object wrong? I am kinda confused on how this one works because there isn’t a constructor and I don’t know where to pull and existing one from.

Is there another way to automatically close this error dialog box?

[L.Cunningham]

Ok in retrospect that should have been pretty obvious,

However, even though I may have my failure handling working correctly my warning dialog box still shows

Modal Handling On

Modal Handling Off

Delayed Mini Warnings On

My best guess is that this dialog box is not controlled by failure handling because it is a warning, does anyone know how to suppress these?

I am still not sure how event handlers work in IronPython but this post may help you.

[L.Cunningham]

This stuff is a little out of my league. I think I have found what is needed, however I have no idea how to execute it.

I believe that I need to create an event handler with my desired event (message box) arguments.

In the arguments, I would assign to override the result to IDOK or 1.

I tried to just assign the arguments earlier without an event handler, like this:

MessageBoxShowingEventArgs.OverrideResult(1)

However I was given the error that I was only providing 1 of the 2 arguments required and I am assuming that the second argument is referring to the message box object. Bringing me to the DialogBoxShowing event.

Are there any examples of these UIAppplication Event handlers in python?

EDIT: I think I found one: https://www.revitapidocs.com/code/#Python_RegisterEventHandler-py

[cgartland]

You can look into using that, but I think it might not actually work, for reasons outlined here. The example you’ve linked to looks like it’s meant to be run using PyRevit, but I don’t really have enough knowledge myself to say whether it will or won’t work.

[L.Cunningham]

Yeah I’m not really having much luck.

Is there really no common way to suppress these message dialog boxes in dynamo?

This is now a year-old topic but for the interested readers, this post has a sample code to tackle the issue of handling failures (with Warning level severity) in transactions:
