Confusion over display_duration

[dbatten5]

In my head, enabling this option would display a running duration of the task somewhere but this doesn't seem to be the case. Am I misunderstanding this? My config with toy example looks like this:

return {
  "stevearc/overseer.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  keys = {
    {
      "<leader>O",
      ":OverseerRun<cr>",
      desc = "Open the Overseer menu",
      silent = true,
    },
  },
  config = function()
    local overseer = require("overseer")

    overseer.register_template({
      name = "Sleep",
      builder = function()
        local cmd = { "sleep", "3" }
        return {
          cmd = cmd,
          components = {
            "default",
            {
              "on_output_quickfix",
              open_on_exit = "failure",
            },
          },
        }
      end,
      condition = {
        filetype = "python",
      },
    })

    overseer.setup({
      templates = {},
    })
  end,
}

The default components attached to a task can be found here:

overseer.nvim/lua/overseer/config.lua

Line 148 in 44e927e

{ "display_duration", detail_level = 2 },

You will notice that the configuration for display_duration sets the detail level at 2. This means that the duration won't be visible until you increase the detail level in the task list at least once (press ? in the task list to see all the keymaps).

You can customize this by changing the definition of the default component alias in your own config and pass a detail_level = 1 (or exclude it, because the default is 1).
