Enable resources to participate in progress reporting during config execution #46

Open SteveL-MSFT opened 1 year ago

SteveL-MSFT commented 1 year ago

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As resources get executed, need progress returned as JSON for agents to display. Consider how child processes can participate including resources.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

The mechanism for reporting progress will be similar to verbose messages - #89 In human-readable mode - just a text in stdout. In machine-readable mode - a JSON structure returned in the stderr stream that has a string operation name and an integer [0;100] that shows completion percent; the same interface will be used to report progress from resources/resource providers to dsc.exe

To put more context to this. The main work item to enable progress reporting (as well as streaming results from a resource in real-time without waiting until it completes the operation) is actually to switch resource execution from synchronous to async. I did initial implementation of it using tokio runtime.
