No progress-bar while building

[tomers]

While building a Quasar app, I get:

Having these progress bars shown in CI is rather verbose and does not supply much information.
In tools like curl, wget, etc. there is usually a CLI option to turn it off, e.g. --quiet.
This could be useful here.

The type of terminal is detected and if it can't handle the progress bar, then it isn't displayed. I agree a -q for "quiet" would be a nice-to-have. Maybe ask for it in the "issues" section as a feature.

Thanks! I've opened issue #10304.

I saw progress bars in my Jenkins run, but it shows a quasar build command that was run inside a docker, so it could detect a different terminal. This is the exact reason why such flag is needed.

I agree. If it can detect the terminal type and not show it, then having a flag should/could be minimal work.
