# ErrorCode

> Uniquely identifies a type of error which may occur when generating reflection information.

## Definition

* **Type:** Enum
* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor.ShaderApiReflection](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/shaderapireflection.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor.CoreModule

```csharp
public enum ErrorCode
```

## Remarks

Each value of this enum represents a different type of error, the details of which may be found in [LogMessage.Text](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/shaderapireflection/logmessage/text.md).

Additional Resources: [LogMessage.ErrorCode](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/shaderapireflection/logmessage/errorcode.md).

## Examples

```csharp
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.ShaderApiReflection;
using UnityEngine;

// This example adds a menu item which re-logs any reflection errors reported by shader includes
// selected in the project view.
public class ShaderIncludeReflectionErrorPrinter
{
    [MenuItem("Examples/ShaderIncludeReflectionErrorPrinter")]
    static void PrintErrors()
    {
        // Visit each selected object
        foreach (Object selectedObject in Selection.objects)
        {
            // Check if the object is a ShaderInclude
            if (selectedObject is ShaderInclude includeObject)
            {
                // Re-log each reflection message
                foreach (LogMessage message in includeObject.Reflection.LogMessages)
                {
                    string formattedMessage =
                        $"{message.ErrorCode} {message.MessageSeverity} at {message.Location.FilePath}"
                        + $" (line {message.Location.Line}): {message.Text}";
                    if (message.MessageSeverity == LogMessage.Severity.Error)
                        Debug.LogError(formattedMessage);
                    else
                        Debug.LogWarning(formattedMessage);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
