Build Progress Bar (Trac #305)

[phing-issues-importer]

Could we have a progress bar that displays some sort of feedback that Phing is doing something please? So on a build that takes some time, the user is getting some sort of visual feedback, that Phing is actually working OK?

This wouldn't be trivial, since there currently is no mechanism for individual tasks to record or report their progress. Interesting idea though!

• mrook changed milestone from "" to "3.0"

A perfect example where this would make sense is the ZendGuardEncodeTask here:
https://www.phing.info/trac/browser/classes/phing/tasks/ext/zendguard/ZendGuardEncodeTask.php#L413

Which actually enhances experience of ZendGuard due to the fact that you don't tend to run each file separately when using ZendGuard's native XML-pattern file. But since this happens with Phing, it should be possible to add this as an option here. Maybe as an option to the ZendGuardEncodeTask or a general options to be able to extend it further. Thoughts?

There is now an initial implementation, a logger which covers targets and tasks. Progress reports inside tasks is something else, and probably out of scope for now.

The logger can be used by invoking phing -listener phing.listener.ProgressLogger.
