Description Kevin Funk 2014-04-10 13:06:32 UTC

CMake-generated code emits progress information when being executed by make/ninja.

Since any make/ninja-run is basically wrapped by a KJob instance, we could try parsing the output of make/ninja and set the progress information using KJob-API. We could then later re-use this information in order to show a progress bar for these jobs. Currently, make/ninja jobs are not displayed in the status bar, which should be easy to enable, though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build target
Actual Results:  
Nothing displayed in the status bar

Expected Results:  
Progress bar pops up in the status bar, showing progress information of the build job.

Disambiguating that a bit:
For make jobs:
- Output might not contain progress information. It depends on whether CMake was used to generate the Makefiles and -DCMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE=OFF was not specified.
For ninja jobs:
- Always(?) shows progress information in the form of "[1/10] ...\n[2/12]...\n...", etc. So we can always enable parsing this output in the ninja plugin.

Implemented for the Ninja builder. Will be part of 5.0.0.

Comment 3 Kevin Funk 2016-01-08 23:21:11 UTC

Implemented for Make, too.
