Progress bar does not work in IntelliJ Idea Console

[saidaspen]

When running an application using progress bar in IntelliJ Idea it behaves strangely.

Does it work in terminal (cmd / powershell)? I haven't tried it under Windows -- it works for Mac.

Also, since you are using Consolas font, for better visual effects please set ProgressBarStyle.ASCII because the box-drawing glyphs are not aligned properly in Consolas.

Same behaviour with ASCII.

Does this problem only occurs in IntelliJ? Have you tried it outside of the IDE (e.g. using Windows cmd)? This might be the same problem as #21 .

Same example in three consoles:

cmd.exe

git bash:

IntelliJ Idea 2017.3 (Windows)

I can confirm this issue.

The issue here is that TerminalFactory.get().GetWidth (ProgressThread.consoleWdith()) is returning a width of 1 for IntelliJ. Adding a check for consoleWidth <= 10 and setting it to 80 (say) fixes the issue.

me.tongfei.progressbar.ProgressThread#consoleWidth

   int consoleWidth() {
        Terminal terminal = TerminalFactory.get();

        int columnWidth = terminal.getWidth();
        columnWidth = columnWidth > 10? columnWidth: 80;
        
        return columnWidth;
    }

I like that approach actually, as a work-around at least.

I would open a ticket about this in Jetbrains' YouTrack also. They might just fix it for you.

Fixed in 0.6.0 using @albancolley 's workaround approach.
