Show upload/download progress

[Jeehut]

Sometimes the build folder is quite big (~> 100 MB) and at least in these cases it would be very nice to see upload progress or at least the number of megabytes already uploaded to have some kind of feedback and estimation. Same would be nice on downloads as well, but uploads are usually slower so more useful.

Since the latest release you can tell carthage_cache to always prune unused binaries on publish and also you can specify which platform to use. Since this changes I've seen archive file's size reduces substantially in my projects.

I agree this would be a nice feature to have. I tried to do something similar in another project and could find a way that worked well with ruby so ended up hacking it by calling cURL like curl --progress-bar --data-binary @#{archive_path} -X POST .

I guess you could do something similar to this and try to make it work with AWS S3 API instead of using the gem to upload. Maybe AWS S3 Ruby SDK provides a way to easily implement this, not really sure.

I do agree that this would be really helpful but since I am pretty short on time and upload / download time is not a concern in the projects I am working on I won't prioritize this. I may do it if I find the time but cannot make any promises nor provide an ETA.

That being said I would be more that available for a code review if you want to submit a PR. If you feel like adding this feature, here is where you should make the change.

Let me know if you need any help.

I think the AWS JavaScript API has a way to report upload progress, so might be possible with the Ruby version too.

This SO on reporting S3 upload progress may be relevant. General strategy is to use a multi-part upload by breaking the file into chunks.
