Description

When using a command with spin() in Forge's deployment script, the output in Forge's logs shows a line for every "frame" of the spin.

This doesn't happen when ssh'ing in and running the command manually. The spinner works fine.

I'm not sure where the issue really lies. In our implementation, Laravel's setup of Prompts, or Forge.

Our implementation code is quite simple:

use function Laravel\Prompts\spin;

spin(callback: fn () => Stache::warm(), message: 'Warming the Stache...');

Steps To Reproduce

• Create a site in forge
• Add a command that uses spin() to the deployment script
• View deployment log

This isn't really a bug of Prompts, more a side-effect of how Forge reads the deployment output. During a deployment, Forge pipes output to a file which the CLI reads via the API. Writing to files means that there is no support for the interactive or ANSI codes that replace the spinner in situ.

When running any interactive commands like this, I'd recommend adding the --no-progress or --no-ansi options.

@jbrooksuk --no-progress doesn't seem to be an allowed flag, and --no-ansi doesn't seem to have any affect when testing this in Laravel Forge

[jbrooksuk]

@DanielDarrenJones when you say --no-ansi doesn't have any effect, what happens?

[DanielDarrenJones]

@jbrooksuk It still outputs the spinner and a new line every time in the deployment log
