What is the outputProgress parameter and how do I use it?

The release notes for v12.9.0 of the Flyway CLI mention “check drift, changes and dryrun commands now report phase-level progress when outputProgress is enabled” (emphasis mine). 

This seems like a neat feature, and something I'd like to tap into. However, I have been unable to find any other information about what it does, what I should set it to, or how I use it. 

From the sparse information I could find, it seems to be under the flyway namespace, flyway.outputProgress. However, there's no mention of this value on the Flyway Namespace page (there's outputQueryResults but that's separate), and it's not in my flyway.toml file. Is it just bundled with the engine and beyond my individual control?`

When I run flyway -X, I see flyway.outputProgress -> false, though I am on 12.0.3 (Enterprise)

    Hello emmar00,

    That internal parameter shouldn't have made it into the release notes, it's not externally available. As you noted, setting it in the config isn't respected.

    As for what it does, it's a cosmetic feedback process that gives the UI the current status of the Check process. It's not interactable nor are there changes you can perform between the states. 

    For all practical purposes, it's a programmatic progress bar.
