[-]Seperating blank line[/-][+]Missing separating blank line option[/+]on Apr 29, 2024 Edit: I just discovered the init argument "line_offset". However, line_offset = 1 doesn't seem to achieve the desired effect. It seems to suppress any stdout printing at all
-> ProgressBar(line_offset=0)
-> ProgressBar(line_offset=1)
You can try the
line_offsetparameter, it's meant for multiple parallel progress bars but it should work for this: https://progressbar-2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#showing-multiple-independent-progress-bars-in-parallelI tried it, but with this code I don't see any of the "test text messages" being printed, nor the "Program launched! for that matter. I only see the progress bar.
-> Code (using python 3.10)
import time import progressbar progressbar.streams.wrap_stderr() progressbar.streams.wrap_stdout() start_val = 0 max_val = 20 print(f'Program launched!') for k in progressbar.ProgressBar(start_val,max_val, line_offset=1): print(f'-> test text message') time.sleep(0.1)-> Output
You're right, it doesn't work right now :)
I've tested a little and I don't think any option does what you need currently.Added the opt-in
redirect_blank_lineoption, which keeps a blank line between redirected stdout/stderr output and the bar. Locked bytests/test_terminal.py::test_redirect_blank_line_position(asserts placement between the clear sequence and the redraw) added in #326. Closing.- added a commit that references this issue

Hey,
close this issue if this is actually possible, but I couldnt figure out for the life of me how to include a blank line to seperate the progress bar from the rest of the text streams when wrapping stdout/stderr.
I think that this is an important quality of life feature for a progressbar. See the attached image below for how it looks when installing/removing apt packages.
Apart from this, great library. Simple and reliable.
