Sadly, I have no idea how to do this: I use system2 to call BEAST2, but its intermediate output is only displayed when the run in finished. If there is a way to directly show that output, this Issue is as good as fixed.
If you (or anyone) knows a way how to let system2 show its intermediate output, I will happily add it. Ducking :duck:, however, failed.
- If not, I will unhappily close this Issue.
- If yes, I'll fix this within a week :+1:
I love to see whether something is running, how far it is, and how much longer I still need to wait. BEAST2 by default outputs a line that summarizes the current state, and also the time spent per 1M trees, as shown here: https://taming-the-beast.org/tutorials/Introduction-to-BEAST2/figures/beast_out.png.
Although the 'VERBOSE' option adds some extra output within R, it does not generate intermediate output like this. Would it be possible to also include this type of output, or to add an extra flag for this?
