animation spinner fills the console with new lines

[dcsan]

The little animation spinner is cute as the tests are running, however it seems to degrade and then put a newline on every iteration. My test run ends up filling pages of console

if the feature is broken, is there a way to at least disable it?

⠙ Actor › game loading
⠹ Actor › game loading
⠸ Actor › game loading
⠼ Actor › game loading
⠴ Actor › game loading
⠦ Actor › game loading

Yea that's not good.

It should be better with --verbose or verbose: true in the configuration.

I assume you have some console.log() output in the test / tested code?

[dcsan]

yes there are some logs there
reply input: xx

so perhaps that triggered the new lines to be happening...

I hit then when using ava for the first time when implementing a feature in np:

The above is a slice of a very long output filled with more of the same 😬

While the loading spinner is indeed very pretty, having the ability to disable would be a great short-term solution.

Aha! While we try to clear the spinner (on stdout), before writing the output from the test (to stderr)… we don't wait for this to complete. I think I know how to fix this…

This should be fixed in master now. Normally I do releases at the end of the weekend, so it should be available soon.
