Verbose option is missing (it is in documents)

[msat59]

Hi.

Please bring back the verbose option. I need to disable progress bar. I can disable it in the code; but it's better to have it as an option.

According to the documents, optimize should have the option; but both verbose and print_step have been removed.

optimizer.optimize(f, print_step=100, iters=1000, verbose=2)

Thanks.

Yup, we’re fixing the docs now. Sorry for the confusion!

[msat59]

Any plan to add it to the code? I've already added it to the local version.

if not verbose:
                self.rep.hook(best_cost=self.swarm.best_cost)

[ljvmiranda921]

As of now we’re planning to add it in the code, but I might release the new version this weekend. For now please use your local changes and maybe open up a PR. Sorry I haven’t been on top of Issues, work got reallyy busyy

Hi documentation is now updated! Will be closing this issue now 👍

Where are you making these changes? I also need to turn off verbose option as it is constantly printing messages I dont want to see. To me this is quite essential option to have.

Hi @devkicks , we haven't added it up in the codebase and just updated the documentation. Would you be able to help out in creating a PR for this?

@ljvmiranda921 I think we can easily implement this feature, though. We just add a verbose argument to the optimize method and then choose the iterator of the loop (because this generates the progress bar) and the local logging level. Do you think this works?

^Hi @whzup sorry I wasn't able to reply properly, ok I think that works!

Adding the full verbose option would be great when running optimizations with fewer iterations. For a large number of iterations, the print_step parameter makes a lot of sense.
Currently you are using a logger for the results. May I suggest you have something like a tabular format that makes it easier to read, maybe something like gplearn. Here's an example of the verbose.

There are three places:

pyswarms\single\global_best.py
pyswarms\single\general_optimizer.py
pyswarms\discrete\binary.py

search for self.rep.hook(best_cost=self.swarm.best_cost) and add that condition. In addition, you should add verbose=False in function declaration. I can change the code if it's required.

Hi @msat59 @nishnash54 sorry I don't have the bandwidth to do new updates. If you can open a PR on this that would be great! Let's do @msat59 's version first, then maybe work on @nishnash54 's suggestion.

I rechecked my fix now, after a year. It's not completely verbose. I will check it tomorrow morning.

I finally fixed the verbosity; I'll update the codes when I found out how to do it. (I'm new on Github)
