Blinking on Windows #160

Closed ffMathy closed 3 years ago

ffMathy commented 3 years ago

While spinning, the whole text (including the spinner itself) blinks on Windows.

Tested in cmd.

sindresorhus commented 3 years ago

That's just cmd being slow. Not much we can do about that. I would recommend switching to Windows Terminal.

How does Docker do it then when showing its progress bar and pulling images?

It doesn't blink at all. Neither does webpack etc.

It blinks for me in both Windows Terminal and in Git Bash.

I am seeing blinking in Windows Terminal as well, when SSHed into my Ubuntu server:

const ora = require('ora');
const spinners = require('cli-spinners');

const spinner = ora({
  text: 'loading ...'
});

spinner.spinner = spinners.timeTravel;

spinner.start();
