Subject: [PATCH v3 02/13] perf test: Truncate test description to fit terminal width
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 09:48:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616164819.370939-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616164819.370939-1-irogers@google.com>
The parallel test harness uses the carriage return delete escape sequence
`PERF_COLOR_DELETE_LINE` ("\033[A\33[2K\r") to erase and update the
"Running (X active)" progress lines.
However, if a test description is longer than the terminal width, the line
wraps around. When this happens, the cursor up escape sequence `\033[A`
only moves the cursor to the last wrapped row, leaving the top half of the
description printed on the previous line. This leads to name duplication
and output corruption spilling over multiple rows on consoles narrower
than the maximum description length (e.g., 101 columns wide).
Fix this by dynamically querying the terminal width using
`get_term_dimensions` and truncating the printed test descriptions using
the `%-*.*s` printf format. We reserve 35 characters for prefix, status,
and spacing metrics to guarantee the progress line never wraps.
Fixes: 0e036dcad4e6 ("perf test: Display number of active running tests")
