### Remarks

Convenience method for summarizing errors (or exceptions) that occurred during a build into a single line of text. If no error was logged this returns an empty string.  If a single error was logged this reports the error messages.  Otherwise it reports the number of errors, for example "5 errors".

Note: To examine all errors, warnings and other messages recorded during a build you can enumerating through the build [\_steps](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/build/reporting/buildreport/steps.md) and check [\_messages](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/build/reporting/buildstep/messages.md). And to retrieve the count of errors call [\_totalErrors](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/build/reporting/buildsummary/totalerrors.md).
