Sticky log messages

Open danielwe opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

I sometimes wish I could use @info to update an existing log message. Imagine the following, with each invocation of @info "..." sticky=true updating the same log card instead of adding a new one:

let
    keepgoing(i) = (i < rand(51:100))
    i = 1
    while keepgoing(i)
        @info "i = $i" sticky=true
        sleep(0.1)
        i += 1
    end
end

This is an example where it's impossible to calculate a % complete, so ProgressLogging is unsuitable, but I'd still like to see an indicator of forward progress. The sticky=true keyword seems to have some precedence from the old days of Juno, see https://github.com/JuliaLogging/ProgressLogging.jl/issues/23#issuecomment-594218835.
