Show more logging information after an inactivity timeout during install

[vjpr]

Usually when I have a bad connection, the resolving step freezes.

It would be good to have some more info in the default logger.

$ pnpm i -S eslint-plugin-import
Resolving: total 48, reused 48, downloaded 0

Maybe after 5 seconds of inactivity, it could show an additional line to indicate what it is stuck on.

Resolving: total 48, reused 48, downloaded 0
> Trying to download package 'foo' for X seconds.

And X seconds could increment.

Another possible solution would be to allow users to switch reporting to a more verbose one. So during installation, you could press some key and it would change the reporter to print all the debug logs.

Is there a way to see some more info right now?
I'm testing pnpm on my project and can't download anything. I tried many times, waiting for XX minutes and everything I see is:

Resolving: total 2112, reused 2112, downloaded 0

How can I check what's going on?

I think most frequently this happens when a request fails and pnpm tries to repeat it over and over.

To get more info, the only way is to run the command with the --reporter ndjson option.

I think what we can do pretty easily is to add some info or warning messages when a request fails.
