"Quiet" progress bars #645
Description
It's pretty common to have an option that controls whether or not progress bars appears, which leads to code like this:
if (!quiet) {
cli::cli_progress_bar(
format = "Running job {x} [:spin] :elapsed",
total = NA,
clear = FALSE
)
}
repeat {
if (!quiet) cli::cli_progress_update()
# https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/error-messages
# Switch to req_retry() when we move to httr2
status <- tryCatch(
bq_job_status(x),
bigrquery_http_503 = function(err) NULL
)
if (!quiet) cli::cli_progress_update()
if (!is.null(status) && status$state == "DONE") break
Sys.sleep(pause)
}
if (!quiet) cli::cli_progress_done()It'd be nice if there was an option to cli_progress_bar() that generated a quiet bar.

If you are considering this then I would value a global option to completely suppress progress bar output, mostly so I can switch progress bars off when I move from interactively running markdown chunks in RStudio to knitting a rmarkdown document, when I want to suppress the progress bars in the output.
maybe the new parameter in
cli_progress_bar()could reference a global option , e.g.robchallen commentedon May 15, 2024
N.B. my particular use case overlaps with #583

@robchallen IMO we should do that automatically for you
