I think the issue is in starting and stopping the status multiple times. It was only intended to be started once.

This seems to give the intended result:

import time
from rich.console import Console

def main():
    console = Console()
    with console.status('') as status:

        status.update('running\nextra\ncontext')
        time.sleep(2)

        status.update('running again')
        time.sleep(2)

[ofek]

Is there a way to support that? My application has a global status object that is set up based on config that multiple callers can borrow to use

[willmcgugan]

It may be. Status ultimately uses the Live class. It probably wouldn't be too much work to make start and stop repeatable.

[ofek]

That would be really awesome if that was possible to make our use case work!

[ofek]

Has there been any update on this?

[willmcgugan]

Afraid not. Busy on the Textual side. Could you give me an example of The API you would expect?

[ofek]

I'm going to close this now actually, here is the BorrowedStatus class that I soon will be using everywhere https://github.com/pypa/hatch/pull/949/files#diff-85342eb0efd7b5266a2c9ba75e9ca76c5fe9e61f276a724855907c3e6e0bd56e

Thank you!
