Use the --compact flag or configure compact output in pest.php for minimal single-character test progress indicators.
When running large test suites with hundreds of tests, verbose output fills terminal buffers. Enabling compact printer output displays dots and characters for fast console feedback.
# Enable compact output via CLI
./vendor/bin/pest --compact
- Displays minimal test progress indicators to reduce console output clutter
- Highlights failures and errors prominently with detailed tracebacks
- Saves terminal scrollback memory during long test suite runs
