Report number of imported nodes for later use. [#2175331]

Hi,

Is it possible to access message returned by:

 while (FEEDS_BATCH_COMPLETE != feeds_source('my_feed', 0)->import());

So I could use returned string i.e. "There are no nodes." or how many nodes were imported/updated?

Currently I'm using drush eval and cron for feed imports, and I would like to uset those values in bash script, but thats not the case if I get it as php variable its fine for me.

Thanks in advance,

I've found solution for this issue:
drupal_get_messages()

But it's not perffect. I suspect that if between import and drupal_get_messages() some script will set new message I will get that new message instead of feeds message.

If you have access to the FeedsSource object, you can get the statical information by calling the state() method on the FeedsSource object:

$state = $source->state(FEEDS_PROCESS);

This FeedsState object contains (among more) the following information:

created
updated
deleted
unpublished
blocked
skipped
failed

Example:

/**
 * Implements hook_feeds_after_import().
 */
function mymodule_feeds_after_import(FeedsSource $source) {
  $state = $source->state(FEEDS_PROCESS);
  drupal_set_message(t('@num_created items were created and @num_updated items were updated.', array(
    '@num_created' => $state->created,
    '@num_updated' => $state->updated,
  )));
}
