Proposal: continuous text output from script

[rmirabelli]

Currently Marathon prints all of the script's output at the end of the script running.

I'd love to see Marathon instead use a Pipe() along with waitForDataInBackgroundAndNotify(), rather than use a print statement at script completion. This could probably be done by creating a different printer that is passed along to shellOut.

I'm happy to work on this request myself, but would appreciate input from others as to potential impacts, especially on Linux.

Yes please! I was just struggling for a while to figure out why I couldn't get output in real time. In the mean time, is there any workaround without ditching Marathon?

[rmirabelli]

I don't know of a workaround, but I'm going to start working on this over the next day or two, and it shouldn't be too challenging.

I'd really love to see this happen 👍 It will require adding async/continuous output to ShellOut, here's an issue for that: JohnSundell/ShellOut#11
