Bumping this question in case anyone knows 🙏 With the pulumi CLI, pulumi up gives informative output on plugin installs e.g.:

Downloading plugin: 158.80 MiB / 158.80 MiB [====================] 100.00% XmYs
[resource plugin aws-5.40.0] installing

However, when using the automation api with

optup.ProgressStreams

, I'm only getting this output:

@ updating.....................................................................

for as long as it takes plugins to install. Is there a way to get the same more verbose output with the automation API? Thanks!

This info must be suppressed for non-interactive mode. Would you mind opening an issue? github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues

will do 🙂 Thanks! Do you think I could build a workaround using interactive mode? perhaps by calling InstallPlugins directly?

There are workspace level methods for installing plugins manually, you could try that! The other thing you could investigate is the engine event stream. This is the raw source that the CLI renderer uses, but the events are very very low level.
