Suppress Quarto TinyTeX progress spam in builds (CI=true)#147
Merged
Conversation
Quarto renders an animated TinyTeX download progress bar unless its `runningInCI()` check passes. That check reads environment variables (CI, GITHUB_ACTIONS, etc.) that do not propagate into a `docker build` RUN step, so inside container builds Quarto redraws the bar on every download tick — tens of thousands of lines in a non-TTY build log. Set `CI=true` inline on the TinyTeX install command so the progress bar collapses to a single line while keeping error output. These are generated files, normally rendered from the shared bakery macro. This is a manual stopgap so production builds get the fix without waiting for a bakery release; the proper macro change is in posit-dev/images-shared#627. A re-render after that lands reproduces these exact edits.

Quarto renders an animated TinyTeX download progress bar unless
runningInCI()passes. The env vars it checks (CI,GITHUB_ACTIONS, …) do not reach adocker buildRUN step, so Quarto redraws the bar on every download tick — one Workbench dev build emitted ~26,000 lines (~5 MB, 68% of the log), slowing the build and bloating CI logs.Setting
CI=trueinline on the install command collapses the progress bar to a single line while keeping error output (unlike--quiet). The fix lives in the shared bakery macro; this adds it directly to the committed Containerfiles so builds get it without waiting for a re-render.
