Command

serve

Description

Just a small request: ng serve (and maybe all other commands) should print some text instantly after the command is executed.

demo

You can see that after enter ng serve there is a long waiting time without any response. Appears to be dead. Annoying. I would prefer an initial message directly after the command was entered. Something like:

ng serve
Builds and serves your app, rebuilding on file changes.
[-] Generating browser bla bla ...

This text comes from the docs. But we could also just print: Preparing... or the joke of the day. Seriously, no response feedback on command execution feels weird and seems to be frozen.

Maybe this should be implemented on all commands?

@infacto, I didn’t realise it was an animated GIF 😅

I have some ideas in mind which I am hoping to explore soon to tackle this issue.

What @infacto is trying to say is that there is a delay between the time we execute ng serve and the first text shown on the terminal that something is being generated. (env: Windows)
