Writing Debug Info to Summary

When developing and debugging Manager scripts in APSIM Next Gen, it’s helpful to write custom messages to the Summary window.

Purpose

To output internal script data, such as calculated variables, to the Summary window during simulation.

Code Example

using System;
using Models.Core;
using Models.Functions;

namespace Models
{
    [Serializable]
    public class Script : Model
    {
        // Link to the Summary model to write messages to the simulation log
        [Link] private Summary summary = null;

        // Subscribe to the 'DoManagement' event, which is triggered daily
        [EventSubscribe("DoManagement")]
        private void OnDoManagement(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            summary.WriteMessage(this, "Hello from manager script", MessageType.Diagnostic);
        }
    }
}
