Confusion with display message while bulk insert is happening

[dipanjan44 (Dipanjan Haldar)]

I am using rally 0.8 and while doing a bulk-index it is showing messages like:

[INFO] Rally will delete the benchmark candidate after the benchmark
[INFO] Racing on track [xxx], challenge [createindex] and car ['defaults'] with version [6.1.1].

Running bulk [ 0% done]
Running bulk [ 1% done]
Running bulk [ 2% done]
Running bulk [ 3% done]
Running bulk [ 4% done]
Running bulk [ 5% done]
Running bulk [ 6% done]
Running bulk [ 7% done]
Running bulk [ 8% done]
Running bulk [ 8% done]

Is this expected because the display message was coming as single consolidated value before.

Hi @dipanjan44,

this can happen depending on your terminal configuration. Can you please run:

echo ${TERM}

If it is set to dumb, the terminal does not understand escape sequences that are needed to make this work and this would explain the behaviour.

Thanks.
