Is there any way for pooling (multiple progress bars) with v3?

[pgollangi]

Pooling can be done with v1 pb.NewPool(). Is there any way to achieve this with v3?

[cheggaaa]

unfortunately not yet, but it is planned

[medyagh]

first of all thank you for this beautiful lib, we use it in minikube happily ! I would be interested to have this feature too

[medyagh]

@cheggaaa is this still a planned work ?

[cbehopkins]

Pool for v3 would be really useful for me.

I was about to hack up a prototype of it on my own fork, but if this is going to be done soon I'd love to help.

[cheggaaa]

That is because I can't find a good technical solution. But maybe just copy pooling from v1 will be better than nothing.

Just made PR, but I need help with testing on Windows

[cbehopkins]

Just fired that branch up

$ go test .
# github.com/cheggaaa/pb/v3 [github.com/cheggaaa/pb/v3.test]
.\pool_win.go:15:18: undefined: getCursorPos
.\pool_win.go:25:9: undefined: setCursorPos

I can look at fixing this, and do a pr or I can keep running tests from the branch?

Pushed fix, can you look now?

$ go test -race .
ok      github.com/cheggaaa/pb/v3       2.245s

Edit: Thanks very much for being so quick on this, I'll look at start using this asap - looks great. I'll shout if I find any further problems

[cheggaaa]

Thank you @cbehopkins !
This implementation has some disadvantages it's about cases while terminal resizing or when bars do not fit by height.
And if you (or someone) have ideas on how we can improve that - PR is welcome!

Hi @cheggaaa, do you plan to merge #188 soon? Having a pool implementation with some disadvantages is definitely better than having nothing for us. Is there anything we can do to help?

[cheggaaa]

Yes, planning to add some improvements and merge that on the weekend.
