-  # This method is used to display a progress bar in the task view
-  # interface. It returns a hash with the following content:
-  #   * :color: a string containing the color to use in the progress bar.
-  #   * :progress: an int between 0 and 100 that represents the progression percentage.
-  #   * :message: a string that contains an information message.
-  #   * :show_percentage: a boolean that indicates if the percentage has to be shown.
-  # Examples of returned hashes:
-  #     {
-  #      :color=>"blue",
-  #      :progress => 27,
-  #      :message => "Everything looks good",
-  #      :show_percentage => true
-  #     }
-  #     {
-  #      :color => "rgb(12,44,255)",
-  #      :progress => 42,
-  #      :message => "Oh no your data is corrupted",
-  #      :show_percentage => false
-  #     }
-  #
-  # This is a default implementation where the bar progresses based on
-  # the task status. Tasks may override it to show some task-specific
-  # progression. It is recommended to keep the following color
-  # convention: red is for failed tasks, blue for active ones, green
-  # for completed ones.

-    progress=15

-    if CbrainTask::COMPLETED_STATUS.include?(self.status)
