How to suppress warnings from NamespaceEditor

Community USD
1

Hi there,
When I use the NamespaceEditor as shown below, I receive the following warning messages.
However, this relocation is intentional, and the result is correct, so I would prefer not to have these warnings appear.
Are these warnings expected and what options do we have to suppress them given these layers?
I considered filtering them in our delegate, but I would rather avoid checking warning if possible.

Thank you!

Here’s the sample code:

from pxr import Usd, Sdf, Tf
chairLayerStr = """#usda 1.0
(
    defaultPrim = "Chair"
)

def Material "Chair"
{
    token outputs:displacement.connect = </Chair/Shader.outputs:out>

    def Shader "Shader"
    {
        token outputs:out
    }
}

"""
chairLayer = Sdf.Layer.CreateAnonymous()
chairLayer.ImportFromString(chairLayerStr)


stage = Usd.Stage.CreateInMemory()
p = stage.DefinePrim("/World/Asset/Asset01")
p.GetReferences().AddReference(chairLayer.identifier)

e = Usd.NamespaceEditor(stage)
e.MovePrimAtPath("/World", "/ABC")
e.ApplyEdits()

Here’s the warning:

Failed to update the following targets and/or connections for the namespace edit: Fixing the connection paths [ /World/Asset/Asset01/Shader.outputs:out ] for the attribute at '/World/Asset/Asset01.outputs:displacement' would require '/World'to be relocated but we do not introduce relocates for prims that do not have opinions across composition arcs.

@rkat Thank you for the example! This does look like a bug - the warning you’re seeing should not be issued by the namespace editor for the edit you’re trying to do. Unfortunately, there’s currently no easy way to suppress warnings. We’ve filed an internal issue to address the incorrect warning, and can let you know when it’s pushed to dev!

Thank you for checking. I’ll share this with my team.
