Progress inaccurately reported

[dmumladze]

Great little library, but I cannot seem to make it work in multi threaded environment, when threads are trying to increase the progress. I use sync block, but the program finishes and overall progress isn't increased. However, when used in a long running process, everything is working as expected.

Thanks @dmumladze ! It should work properly with multiple threads. Can you paste some code snippet to show how you used it?

@ctongfei thanks for replying on this.

I'm using it in this project below. The class file with line number, where it's calling progress.stepBy(n) is below as well.

What do you mean by " but the program finishes and overall progress isn't increased"? When the program finishes, at what location is the progress bar?

[dmumladze]

It finishes at random percentage but not 100%.

I face the same problem

@dmumladze Seems to be a synchronization problem among threads. Have you tried labeling the methods as synchronized in your ProgressReporter?

@ctongfei I’m using 0.7.4 version now and that has no such issue.

@dmumladze Thanks. This would be a regression. I'll investigate

@dmumladze Can you verify if 0.8.1 works?
