Unable to flush the console output/subprocess stdout to RIDE's Message log.

[manojpaul8]

Is there an option to flush the real time console output to the RIDE's message log without buffering ?

RIDE's message log shows the buffered console output now.

@manojpaul8 What is the problem? How can we reproduce? Questions, questions...

Example: import subprocess from robot.api import logger

process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)

for line in process.stdout: logger.info(line.strip())

Above example does not print the output in the RIDE's message log real time. FYI, command I am using is a flashing command which runs for 20 mins and until the command execution is completed, we don't see the output.

Is there a way to flush the output to RIDE's message log ???

You could try os.set_blocking(process.stdout.fileno(), False) following the popen call. Linux only.

@JFoederer We are doing it on Windows machine.

Sorry, but this is not enough information. How would you run that code in RIDE? Is it in a Library? What test case step would call it. A simple example would do.

This type of conversation could happen in Slack or in Forum, then we can conclude it is a valid Issue report.

@manojpaul8 Please, at least, try to use the Forum.
