Disable spinners when not outputting to a TTY

[vidyarani-dg]

I am using halo for the spinners and it works absolutely fine while running the management command from the command line, however I do not want the spinners while running my test suite. This is cluttering my tests and I want to disable it. I don't see an option to disable it. The only other option is to write the output to a file.

Is it possible to disable the spinners when not outputting to a TTY ?

@vidyarani-dg We do have an option for enabling and disabling the spinner. I believe you can disable it in your test environment using this.

I see , thanks! It's clearly in the initialization. Sorry, I missed it.

Will close this issue.

@vidyarani-dg Did it work as per your requirement?

[vidyarani-dg]

@manrajgrover : Apologies for the tardiness in getting back to you, I did try

Halo(text='Loading files', enabled=False)

It did disable the info messages, however the errors are still outputting to the terminal.

Is this how it is supposed to work ?

@vidyarani-dg Which errors are being outputted? I would need more information in order to assist.

@manrajgrover : Sorry, the failure messages . For instance, this is how I am using the spinner.

With enabled=False, I do not see any of the success / text messages on the terminal, however I do see the failure messages.

spinner = Halo(text='Loading files', spinner='dots', enabled=False)
spinner.start()


for row in rows:
    spinner.text = 'Processing line {}'.format(row.rownum)
    try:
        load(row)
    except Exception:
        spinner.fail("Error loading row {}".format(message)) # -> This is outputted to the terminal. 
        spinner.start()

spinner.succeed('Load successful, time taken in seconds: {}'.format((end - start).seconds))
spinner.stop()
