How can I disable the new NPM spinner in the command-line?

Question

It is mucking up the display of my unit tests, is there a simple way to turn it off?

Answer 1

Ah found it! Run npm config set spin=false will disable it

Answer 2

I believe answer to the literal question of how to do it on the command line (rather than via changing the config file) is npm --no-spin.

Answer 3

You can do it on the fly, like this:

npm install --no-progress

Confirmed works in v3.10.9
