Additional context

[snitin315]

we support webpack --progress to show progress.

[alexander-akait]

@snitin315 we should add tests and keep what we don't add ProgressPlugin twice and respect output with ProgressPlugin and with the --progress flag

[alexander-akait]

/cc @webpack/cli-team need test

[anshumanv]

in near future

@evilebottnawi what should be the behaviour when ProgressPlugin is manually applied along with --progress should we add it only once and if yes then the one coming from config right?

[alexander-akait]

Yes, --progress should do nothing if you already have ProgressPlugin

[alexander-akait]

I think it is already fixed, need add test(s)

[anshumanv]

gotcha on it
