Yarn: Multiple sub-scripts do not output progressively

[borekb]

I have package.json scripts like this:

"scripts": {
    "lint:all": "yarn run lint:project-a && yarn run lint:project-b && yarn run lint:project-c",
    "lint:project-a": "cd project-a && yarn run lint",
    "lint:project-b": "cd project-b && yarn run lint",
    "lint:project-c": "cd project-c && yarn run lint"
}

This is the output from [email protected] which is what I would say is "expected":

$ npm run lint:all

> [email protected] lint:all c:\dev\example
> yarn run lint:project-a && yarn run lint:project-b && yarn run lint:project-c

yarn run v1.0.1
$ cd project-a && yarn run lint
Done in 8.34s.
yarn run v1.0.1
$ cd project-b && yarn run lint
Done in 8.26s.
yarn run v1.0.1
$ cd project-c && yarn run lint
Done in 10.57s.

Yarn produces this:

$ yarn run lint:all
yarn run v1.0.1
$ yarn run lint:project-a && yarn run lint:project-b && yarn run lint:project-c
Done in 48.05s.

and the wait is quite long. Is this expected behavior or possibly a bug?

Yes it is expected since yarn passes YARN_SILENT=1 down to sub scripts to silence its extra output.

So it still runs everything, just not in a verbose manner.

[borekb]

Is there a switch like --no-silent as the "header" of a sub script is actually useful for identifying to which the output belongs to?

[BYK]

@borekb unfortunately not :( That said may be this is something we should support?

[borekb]

I wouldn't complain :)

[BYK]

@borekb how about you submit a PR then? 😉

[borekb]

In all honesty, I won't be able to do that anytime soon but will keep it in mind. Thanks!

@borekb @BYK
To clarify where would the --no-silent be passed? Would it be similar to this?
"lint:project-a": "cd project-a && yarn run lint --no-silent"

For now the workaround is to set YARN_SILENT=0, however #4615 is looking at alternatives.
