Duration Estimate

Do something to a collection of items and see how long it is going to take. Useful for long-running Rake tasks.

items = 0..10000 # Some data set.

DurationEstimate.each(items) do |item, e|
  print "\r#{DurationEstimate::TerminalFormatter.format(e)}"

  # Do something time consuming with item.
  sleep 0.001
end

puts

You can specify the collection size if you are using some kind of ORM that does not respond to :size method.

media = Media
  .where { created_at > Time.parse('some time') }
  .order(:created_at)

File.open('missing-media.log', 'w') do |log|
  DurationEstimate.each(media, size: media.count) do |medium, e|
    print "\r#{DurationEstimate::TerminalFormatter.format(e)}"

    unless medium.on_s3?
      log.puts medium.id
      log.fsync # Write changes now, be able tail the file.
    end

    sleep 2 # Don't overload AWS S3
  end
end

puts

This is going to re-print a line with something like this:
