# Method Tools.Testsuite.log_status()

Method log_status

  ``void` log_status(`string` `msg`, `mixed` ... `args`)`

Description

  Logs a testsuite status message to stdout. This is suitable for nonimportant progress messages.

  - If the verbosity is 0 then nothing is logged, but the message is saved and will be logged if the next call is to log_msg.

  - If the verbosity is 1, the message is "in place" on the current line without a trailing line feed, so that the next log_status message will replace this one.

  - If the verbosity is 2 or greater, the message is logged with a trailing line feed.

  The message should be short and not contain newlines, to work when the verbosity is 1, but if it ends with a newline then it's logged normally. It can be an empty string to just clear the last "in place" logged message - it won't be logged otherwise.
