Actually it queries the terminal size and truncates lines to that size. But it might be getting something wrong (in particular ANSI escape handling have bugs).
@edolstra For now I have a workaround: tput rmam
, which disables line-wrapping in iTerm2.
It would still be nice if, instead of truncation, we could see individual status lines from each of the parallel builds, sort of like how httrack
displays its progress when in curses mode.
The lines from the builds show for me, but it's all done to fit within a single line, so it's not much use for multiple parallel builds...
I marked this as stale due to inactivity. → More info
I like the new status display while "nix build" runs, but it seems to want to print everything on tremendously long lines: > 200 characters. And when the terminal isn't that wide, it causes the line to repeat, so that I end up with displays like:
(I've added returns here so you can get a feel for what I'm seeing).
It would be nice if it used two or more lines to show updating status: one for statistics, one for current package, one for current phase, one for current activity, etc.
