View ModelSim Message Empty
I am currently using Modelsim 10.1 alongside ISE 13.4 and running a very basic test bench. All code is VHDL.
I ran into a problem using a VHDL statement assert
the other day: errors and warnings are outputted to the transcript. However, there are no messages in the message viewer and there are no message indicators in the wave window. I'm starting modeling from ISE if that matters.
I think I may be missing a switch to enable logging or something, but Googling hours brought nothing. Is there any setting that prevents messages from being written to the message viewer even though they will be printed in the transcript?
I've already found it Simulate->Runtime Options-->Message Severity
. However, everything is not marked there. Touching any of the checkboxes gives the expected behavior when not printing the transcript, but there is still no indication in the message viewers.
Thank you for your time,
Robert
Edit:
Ok, after some more tinkering and twisting, I finally found it.
You need to set the parameters msgmode
and displaymsgmode
at least both
to have good message indicators. This seems to have been done in my default configuration for previous versions of ModelSim.
I hope someone like the clueless finds this answer helpful :)

Just to figure out how to start the simulation to see the messages (red, green and yellow triangles) on top of the Waves window:
vsim -msgmode both -displaymsgmode both your_testbench
There is no GUI for this. This must be done either by typing (above) in the Transcript window after compilation of the project, either by adding to the "Properties simulation" → "Others" → "Other Settings vsim" the following code: -msgmode both -displaymsgmode both
.
