I was close to reporting a bug with logging handler + Progress

[NicoWeio]

This is just so nobody after me (or future me) needs to struggle with this:

If you use the logging handler, you shouldn't pass a console to Live. I still had a console lying around for console.rule() etc. and didn't think much of it, but this made a mess:

My task ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[08/22/23 16:54:25] INFO     INFO:rich:some log output                                                                                   testlogging4.py:23
My task ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[08/22/23 16:54:26] INFO     INFO:rich:some log output                                                                                   testlogging4.py:23
My task ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[08/22/23 16:54:27] INFO     INFO:rich:some log output                                                                                   testlogging4.py:23

Here's some code to reproduce the problem and solution:

Code

import logging
import time

from rich.console import Console
from rich.live import Live
from rich.logging import RichHandler
from rich.progress import BarColumn, Progress

console = Console()
logging.basicConfig(level="NOTSET", handlers=[RichHandler(level="NOTSET")])
logger = logging.getLogger('rich')


my_progress = Progress(
    "{task.description}",
    BarColumn(),
)
progress_context = Live(my_progress, refresh_per_second=10,
                        #console=console,
#                       ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑
)
my_job = my_progress.add_task("My task", total=10)

with progress_context:
    for i in range(10):
        logger.info('some log output')
        time.sleep(1)

I haven't tested other combinations of Live/Progress/Console/…, but maybe this is worth mentioning in the docs?

You don't need to use Live there, if you want the Progress bar.

If you want logging and Progress to work together, the only requirement is that they use the same Console instance. You can pass console to the RichHandler constructor.

This is great feedback, thank you!
