Hi @rajula96reddy,
Thanks for opening this issue. I can see this happening because watch command is not ascii safe and breaks the table being rendered. This issue mostly pertains to how cli-table3 and watch work. I would need to investigate it a little.
On a side note, since there are API rate limitations I wouldn't recommend using it with watch command.
Hi @manrajgrover .
Thanks for the comment. Yeah given the API limitations I shouldn't be using watch. But I can have a good enough time interval and still use it. It would be like a auto-refresh. Anyways, let me know if you any help with investigating. I would be happy to help you in resolving this issue.
@rajula96reddy Thanks for sharing the use case. Makes sense. If you can update the watch command in your first comment, it would help.
@DanielRuf has someone raised this issue before with cli-table3?

We are cli-table2 API compatible and did not change the behavior (afaik).

You are welcome.! I did update my first comment.
@rajula96reddy I meant watch -n 60 football npm install -g footballcli. It doesn't look like the correct watch command.
@DanielRuf Thanks for looking into it :)
@manrajgrover I am sorry. I corrected it. 😅
