Hi there!
Describe the problem you are trying to solve
I'm working on Build Tool Window support in IntelliJ Rust, and I need to parse build progress bar. In the current implementation, to get cargo to print progress bar, I use the pty4j library to emulate PTY, but
- It's a very fragile solution which can easily break during future development.
- It has some bugs.
- For simplicity, I remove all color sequences from the text. If I want to support colors, it will become very difficult to parse messages because of the ASCII control sequences. I already tried to implement this (RUN: Support for ANSI colors in build tool window intellij-rust/intellij-rust#4254), but on Windows, it doesn't work well.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have an option or environment variable so that cargo prints the progress bar to the console on a separate line without any \r
, Erase in Line
-sequences, etc.
p.s. - Ideally, I would like, when using a --message-format=json...
, cargo would output all messages in JSON. Currently, only compiler messages are output in JSON.
