🐛IntelliJ terminal output not clearing lines

[Morgul]

When running parcel from inside of Webstorm's Terminal or a Run Configuration, parcel's "Building ..." messages all show up on a single line. Running in a regular terminal, they are clearing the previous line and overwriting it.

🎛 Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command)

This happens with any site I've tried with parcel and does not see to be configuration based.

🤔 Expected Behavior

I expect either to have new lines between the "Building..." lines, or for it to work the exact same as in a regular terminal.

😯 Current Behavior

As you can see from this screen shot:

It is not correctly clearing the previous line.

💁 Possible Solution

This is, arguably an IntelliJ bug. However, I don't know what parcel is doing that's different from any of the other tools (ex: npm, yarn) that clear the line and replace it (all of which work). I would love to see parcel either use the same mechanism as other packages that do this correctly, or a CLI option for parcel to forego clearing the line and instead putting a new line between messages.

🔦 Context

It makes it incredibly difficult to read error messages output during the parcel build. (I have to scroll right and look for any red text.)

🌍 Your Environment

I've tried with Webstorm, IntelliJ IDEA, and PyCharm; all have this issue.

Try setting the environment variable FORCE_COLOR=0 in your run configuration, this turns off most of the fancy styling and prints each status on its own line.

That worked! I would still like color, and the fancy, but until whatever's wrong with that can be worked through, this is much more survivable.

Does #1472 fix this issue?

[Morgul]

I'll give it a test tonight, and let you know. I will say that I've used ora in webstorm before, and it works great, so I have high hopes!

@DeMoorJasper Sorry it took so long, but #1472 definitely fixes this issue:

Thanks so much!
