Good usage of progress bars and println

[Lawouach]

Hi all,

Thanks for this awesome crate. It's so useful :)

I'm convinced that I'm not using it right though.

I have a tool that shows a prelud using println (just text). Then some progress bars. When the process exits I want to write, after the bars, a few final lines using println. At that stage, the scope of the multibar is gone and I can't use its handle.

Unfortunately, I end up with random behaviors:

• progress bars disappearing
• progress bars being duplicated
  Etc.

Following #474 (comment) I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't basically write any text after progress bars. Is that correct? Am I missing a trick to have a flow where I can include progress bars, continue with new text, have more progress bars, etc.?

Thanks,

A followup question, can we have multiple distinct multibars at once? It seems to me they compete witch each other, when interleaved with println! calls at least.

Can you please post your code? I assume by multibar you are talking about MultiProgress?

Yes, sorry for the naming. I was typing that in a rush.

I'll try to come up with a small example because I'm using indicatif in a rather large piece right now so it wouldn't make sense.
