I’m using Atom and having trouble getting it to print solver progress to the console. I’ve tried changing the ‘verbose’ parameter of the Cbc solver, and the STREAM\_MSG and STREAM\_LOG parameters of Mosek (free trial license) to no avail.  
When I used to use the Gurobi solver in grad school it always printed to the console with no issues. I feel like i’m missing something simple/obvious. Thanks in advance

This is possibly an issue with Atom. Try running from the command line.

(By the ‘verbose’ parameter of Cbc I’m assuming you mean `logLevel`.)

explicitly setting the logLevel to 1 fixed it. thank you
