Progress is Incorrectly Displayed

[StartAutomating]

The helper function Wait-JobWithAnimation incorrectly handles progress, and this makes it look quite ugly indeed in the ISE (a spew of non-wrapped yellow lines).

The root of the problem is that you are creating your own Write-Progress. Please use Write-Progress instead, as this is more standard and will be honored across more PowerShell hosts.

The issue reproduces everywhere, but is worst in the PowerShell ISE.

To detail the fix:
Create an ID before the while loop (Line 57)

Change your Write-InteractiveHost to Write-Progress (line 94)
Write-Progress "$($animationFrames[$($iteration % $($animationFrames.Length))])" "Elapsed: $([int]($iteration / $framesPerSecond)) second(s)" -PercentComplete $((($iteration % $($animationFrames.Length)) / $animationFrames.Length) * 100) -id $id

Complete the Progress message at the end (lines 101 & 108)

Get rid of your Write-InteractiveHost at the very end

Interesting. Thanks for the report! Want to submit a PR with this suggested change for me to check out? It's also possible to use -NoStatus to avoid seeing any of that progress being reported out.
