Next.js: Don't clear terminal history when running `next`

[leo]

The user should still see the history after using ctrl + c to stop the app.

I can do this. So I just remove all the code that clear the terminal right? Really frustrating because of this "feature"

[leo]

It should be done like this (imo). But then we need to think about the output that gets generated afterwards...

[rauchg]

Yeah, basically we need to change the ANSI escapes friendly webpack plugin uses

Fixed it locally, works really well, only caveat is that it's dependent on https://github.com/bubkoo/get-cursor-position which has a native module bind. It does have windows support though and is super fast.

Also, has to be patched on friendly errors webpack plugin like you said @rauchg. So I'll create an issue there.

@timneutkens clearConsole: false is not enough ?

[timneutkens]

@nkzawa that will stack the compile messages which turns into quite a mess when you do a lot of changes. Though clearConsole is another solution to this issue (tried that one first).

Fixed in #1169
