Github Actions is buffering output and not displaying step progress in real time

Hi,

I've confirmed this issue is happening in self-hosted runners and Github's Cloud runners. This is a shame because even really outdated CI platforms like Bitbucket and Jenkins display build step output in real-time.

Is there anything on the road map to view step progress in real time?

Thank you,

Michael

I am surprised this issue remains. It's very frustrating when trying to review long running jobs. The only workaround I am aware of is to open a browser window for the run at the start, but it's awkward.

I still have this issue in 2024, with the github hosted runners.
