Introduction

Drush is a powerful command-line tool for managing and interacting with Drupal sites. One of its key features is the ability to run batch processes, which can be useful for performing complex tasks that require a significant amount of time and resources. However, some users have reported that the progress message is not shown when running batch processes using the drush_backend_batch_process() function. In this article, we will explore this issue in more detail and provide some potential solutions.

Describe the bug

The bug is that the progress message is not shown when running batch processes using the drush_backend_batch_process() function. This is a problem because it can make it difficult for users to track the progress of their batch processes, which can be frustrating and time-consuming.

To Reproduce

To reproduce this bug, follow these steps:

Run any batch with default or custom set $batch['progress_message'].
Use the drush_backend_batch_process() function in your command.

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is that the message or progress bar is shown while the batch process is running. This would allow users to track the progress of their batch processes and provide a better user experience.

Actual behavior

The actual behavior is that there is no output (even with the "-v" option) for a long time, and only the finish message is shown. This can make it difficult for users to track the progress of their batch processes and can be frustrating.

Workaround

Unfortunately, there is no known workaround for this issue at this time.
