Subject: Add progress reporting on console
The progress of the prove command is currently hidden because the preferred way of running is with -Q. The workaround could be to run it with -v and split the output afterwards to progress log and html file. IMHO, the most natural way would be to give the user option to show or hide the normal console output and save the html output to a separate file, let's say via -f param or some other way. Cheers, Vladimir
Great idea - I'd love to be able to run this with the default Console formatter. It might be a bit of headache to make the two play together nicely though. BTW, it is possible to output to a separate file with 0.07. I suggested the -Q so you could easily extract the HTML - that's not required anymore. So half the way there.
Just a quick comment: During a discussion on the TAPx Developers list, I brought up the idea of multiple TAP Formatters, which would allow this kind of functionality[1]. I think the idea has mileage, and it's better than implementing the same functionality in every single formatter. But it needs someone to drive it, and I'm low on time at the mo.
