Description
What kind of issue is this?
- Feature Request.
Start by telling us what problem you’re trying to solve. Often a solution
already exists! Don’t send pull requests to implement new features without first getting our
support. Sometimes we leave features out on purpose to keep the project small.
Configuration
Operating system: Win10
PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): platformio-6.1.7-py3-none-any.whl
Description of problem
When using pio ci and updates are downloaded, it prints the separate download percentages, instead of refreshing the value (because it's executed in a non-interactive shell).
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
pio ciproject on github actions - Check the output
Actual Results
Run pio ci --project-conf=platformio.ini --lib="."

Expected Results
I would rather see dots here instead of a single % value, eg. one dot for every 10%?

but ideally the percentage should just change in place, instead of appending, but I'm not sure if that's possible (on github actions).
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the pio ci command and trace how download and unpack progress is rendered when running in a non-interactive shell such as GitHub Actions. Reproduce the output shown in the issue, then verify that progress no longer appends every percentage and instead uses the agreed dots or in-place display.
