Describe the bug

Vite has a clearScreen CLI option which defaults to true.

In an attached docker-compose environment, it’s quite annoying to have Vite clear the screen on container start-up, if you’re looking for logs from other services, or initial container logs before vite starts, etc.

Nuxt should be able to proxy the --clearScreen false CLI option to vite. I suppose something like nuxi dev --clearScreen false ?

I’m putting in a PR to fix the nuxi dev --help issue, as you’re quite right - the original requested behaviour does now work.

Please feel free to open a new issue about the ANSI escape sequences, though 🙏 I see you’ve done so!

@peteromano nuxi dev --no-clear works for me.

Thanks for mentioning it though, nuxi dev --help doesn’t. (And does clear the screen itself, for help… I know some people like it for continuous stuff like webservers, but that’s surely excessive to anyone.)

Now just to find why it messes up ANSI escape sequences somehow on exit.
