P4Python use argument -I Indicators

Question

I would like to use the -I argument to know what is happening other than just exceptions when I sync using p4python.

The website says I can use -I for progress indicators as a console command, particularly with p4 -I sync -q.

This works in console, but I wasn't able to get it to work with P4Python, but perhaps I just didn't use it right and couldn't find any info about using it.

Do anyone know how to do this?

Take a look at the Progress class referenced here:

https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4script/03_python.html#1131357

You probably currently have some code that looks like:

p4.connect()
p4.run_sync()

To get progress indicators, create a Progress class:

class GoosesAwesomeProgressSubclass(P4.Progress):
    def update(self,units):
        print("Progress has been made!")

and use it:

p4.progress = GoosesAwesomeProgressSubclass()
p4.connect()
p4.run_sync()

That's great info. Though I'm having trouble using it. Should I be setting progress somehow or using a progress method for every sync or using a custom progress class somehow?

There's a progress class described in that link (P4.Progress). You subclass it and the server will invoke callbacks to communicate the progress to you.

So I tried this class MyProgress( Progress ): pass foo = MyProgress() but I feel like that might be entirely wrong and I didn't see any progress being returned. Do I need to put anything in the subclass? Also, please forgive my lack of knowledge.

btw I used: from P4 import P4, P4Exception, Progress and it doesn't throw any errors, but it doesn't seem to give progress indicators

I added some handwavy example code to give you the idea of how you're supposed to use the Progress class (I think -- I haven't actually used it, just going off the documentation, so the code probably doesn't run as-is).
