wget unrecognized option --show-progress

[marcus-leonard]

Server: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9
wget version: GNU Wget 1.14

$ bee dl-core
wget: unrecognized option '--show-progress'
...
# Install fails.

$ wget -h | grep progress
       --progress=TYPE           select progress gauge type.

Later things (like Ubuntu 20.04) have

$ wget -h | grep progress
       --progress=TYPE             select progress gauge type
       --show-progress             display the progress bar in any verbosity mode

Not a big deal, but there are probably still quite a few RHEL 7 (and similar) OSs around.

I recall having this issue with my host.
My workaround was to use the --hide-progress argument.

This can also be used for modules.

@marcus-leonard - It may be possible to factor this in if the version text is fairly standard. Please can you paste what you get when you type:

wget --version

@laryn - thanks.
Looks like how the version is output is fairly standard between versions so should be able to do something.

@laryn @marcus-leonard

I've added a pull request to add support for showing the progress bar on earlier version of wget
It is not quite the same as the arguments don't work in the same way

I did try a suggestion on this page but it made no difference.

wget --progress=bar:force:noscroll 

From my perspective, this is better than causing an error if you don't use --hide-progress but I'd be interested if others could test and let me know your views.

The alternative would be to simply hide progress for earlier versions.

[marcus-leonard]

Thanks for looking into this & sorry for delay responding.
Yes, agree; it's a bit noisy but much better than failing with the error.
If the lower version of wget is detected, you could potentially offer a note about using --hide-progress, but bee help dl-core points this out anyway.

[yorkshire-pudding]

@marcus-leonard - Thanks - that's a really good suggestion.
How about:

 [i] The wget tool used for downloading is version 1.14 and does not support showing only the
     progress bar. Upgrade to version 1.16 or later; or use the '--hide-progress' argument if
     you wish to hide altogether.

@yorkshire-pudding That looks pretty good.

The only other option for wget 1.14 that affects things seems to be
wget -nv [URL]
which produces this

$ wget -nv https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/snazzy/releases/latest/download/snazzy.zip
2022-10-12 15:48:07 URL:https://objects.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset-2e65be/322872675/59bf07a0-dca6-4cc2-b406-d42f5c9f7c65?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWNJYAX4CSVEH53A%2F20221012%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20221012T044807Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=f3569ca1fd9e403f4b04b6c683342a9a7597a75f9eeff3eb4cd6e563c7fd0e82&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=0&key_id=0&repo_id=322872675&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3Dsnazzy.zip&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream [1672491/1672491] -> "snazzy.zip" [1]

which is shorter but doesn't show any progress.

I think what you've done so far is fine.
