Progress bar makes sunspot:reindex fail on heroku

Yeah, sadly there's no way the progress bar gem will work on Heroku. When last I looked at this it just couldn't really calculate the columns in the terminal.

To get a progress bar in the reindex task you have to include progress_bar explicitly in your Gemfile. All Heroku users can do is not include that gem in production.

Would love it if someone else could do a deep dive on this and fix the underlying issue. I'd love to see progress_bar running on Heroku. I'll close this for now until then.

I just got this error on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. The progress_bar gem was working perfectly for about 10 days previous to this, but perhaps something changed in my app that caused it. Removing the gem was my only option at this point, and the problem (obivously) went away after I removed the progress_bar gem.

Short term fix: put gem 'progress_bar' in the development group in your Gemfile so you can still use it locally:

group :development do
    gem 'progress_bar'
end

By the way, I forked progress_bar so it would support non-tty output as well (e.g. logging or piping). I haven't sent a pull request yet, but I'm using it successfully in production on Heroku.

Check it out here: https://github.com/webmat/progress_bar

gem 'progress_bar', :git => 'git://github.com/webmat/progress_bar.git'

You know what? I should probably get off my ass and submit the pull request tonight :-)

Do!
